if we want to go that way, all native names are at https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/blob/master/res/values/arrays.xml#L7 (mostly confirmed by the corresponding translators, this is not always that easy to figure out :)

however, it will take more room, more typical thing would be a language dropdown eg. in the upper right corner, but maybe we can do a first step without

Yeah I agree writing them this way will take too much space. Maybe use country flags instead? A dropdown is not a good idea IMO people who don't understand English, won't realize it's for changing the language.

languages do not always match borders; there is quite some antipathy to country flags among contributors :)

however, i did a pr, it does not look bad, i think it is okay and quite some improvement.

there is a preview at https://staging.delta.chat/696/

Yeah I know. You can link multiple flags to the same language.

Doesn't look very bad but not good either. I suggest putting language links in a p and limiting its width to about 50vw. Unless it's on mobile which then it should have full width.

that's already an improvement i'd say :)

i added a commit, https://staging.delta.chat/696/ should be updated soon (force-reload may be required)

Looks much better. These dots all at the end look ugly on 360x760 res:

And also 240x320:

not sure if we can easily do much about the dots. also, these super-narrow views are quite rare nowadays, so in practise, there are fewer dots. i think, it is okay :)
