--- Comment #100 from David Cook <dcook at prosentient.com.au> ---
Thanks for working on this, Bernardo. I think I ignored the language* tables
for years until I needed to work on them this past Friday...

I'm not sure I follow all the changes across all the patches though.

Overall, I was thinking that we could keep a database table in Koha with
language codes and the native name for the language. Examples: en, eng,
English; zh, chi, 中文. 

Then we could have a template that defines a hash map which can be used to
provide translated versions. 

For example:
[% BLOCK en %]Anglais[% END %]
[% BLOCK fr %]Français[% END %]
[% langs.en = INCLUDE en %]
[% langs.fr = INCLUDE fr %]

We could then iterate through the database list and show translated names where
possible based on the hash map lookup using the code.
