Capitalize first letter of all languages (dropdown)
Now, some languages have the first letter capitalized (English, Nederlands, Türkçe and Tiếng Việt) and some don't have it (español, français, italiano, polski, português (Brasil), русский and slovenščina). it's ugly that some have it and some don't, so I propose capitalize the first letter of all languages.
Now:
Idea (First letter capitalized):
Because the language name is text in that language, and in some languages language names are not proper nouns. For example, to say 'Romanian language" in Romanian, you would say "limba română". That is correct.

Even if they're not proper nouns, I still think it's very ugly; worth it?
I agree, it looks ugly, and Scratch capitalizes the names of the languages.

That doesn't mean capitalizing them is wrong, it just isn't necessary.

Including my own native language, español. However, seeing it capitalized in a dropdown never looked wrong to me.
For the language names, I'm using Intl.DisplayNames, so it is a standard. English and other languages are capitalized, but some aren't. This is intentional, for cultural reasons I presume.

Currently, I'm looking at my choices for the sake of accuracy. I think I'm going for a library at this moment.

It's added server side (aka on CI build) so it uses Node.js ~~16~~ 14.
