Comment 1

[Jobava]

the localized name of the language is "română"

Comment 2

[Cristian Silaghi]

If all locales are capitalized in the list ("English", "French" etc.) then this should be "Română".
"Română" will be the Romanian language included to all available languages on MDN. Am I right?

Best Regards,
Cristian Silaghi

Guys, MDN is for experts... :P

Romanian is already activated on MDN. [1] So, I'm marking as RESOLVED:WORKSFORME.

MDN uses the Mozilla "product details" repository as its source for native language names. Since that repository has the lower-case "română" [2] as the native language name, that's what we show on MDN. If it should be "Română" as suggested in Comment 2, we will need to update that master repository. Which will affect SUMO, AMO, mozilla.org etc.

You can REOPEN this bug or file a new one if we should change the native language name across Mozilla websites.

@groovecoder, yes. We want that. "Română" instead of "română". ;)

:clouserw - can you still update the product details svn repo to change the Romanian native name to Română? 

Can you send me a link on how to update it and/or get access?

Done in r145459.

I think you'd file a bug with ops and attach your ssh key to get access.  It's been many years and no one uses svn, so I don't know the exact process anymore. :)
