Languages field should be human-readable
The Languages multicombo field for language:*=* displays raw ISO 639 codes, but the user may not know the language code for the languages associated with the POI they’re mapping, especially if it’s a language they don’t speak. The field should display the human-readable name of each option.
Similar to #7123, we have an opportunity to use Intl.DisplayNames.prototype.of() to come up with all these names without adding any additional burden on translators. Alternatively, we already pull in CLDR language names with many manual overrides and extensions for the Multilingual Names field and could use that instead.
Hi @1ec5 I’m new to contributing in open source and would like to take this issue. Could you assign it to me?
Hi Priyanka, like a lot of volunteer-driven open source projects, we generally don’t assign issues. Instead, please feel free to submit a pull request for any uncontroversial issue once you have something ready for us to review, or a draft PR if you would like some early feedback.
