[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

Attachment: A full and confusing for English-only readers language menu

Currently, the languages menu lists each language written in that language. In the screenshot attached, you see a lot of languages, many of which are indecipherable unless you're familiar with the languages in question.

This list should be shown as <language name in your language> (<language name in that language>), with the list sorted by the localized version of the name.

So, for instance:

Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian)
Català (Catalan)
Deutsch (German)
Español (Spanish)
Japanese (日本語)
Russian (Русский)
Thai (ภาษาไทย)

And so on. If you're reading in Russian, the list would be sorted by the Russian versions of each name, with the names in each language next to them.
