Django Language Selector in local and native language - django

Question

I have a django website I am adding translations to with a language selector that lists the available languages in the user's language. I would like to have the dropdown include the native spelling also.
Currently it looks like this:
English
Dutch
Simplified Chinese
When I switch to Chinese it looks like:
英语
荷兰语
简体中文
I am trying to make it look like:
English/English
Dutch/Nederlands
Simplified Chinese/简体中文
settings.py includes:
ugettext = lambda s: s
LANGUAGES = (
('en', ugettext('English')),
('nl', ugettext('Dutch')),
('zh-cn', ugettext('Simplified Chinese')),
)
base.html:
{% load i18n %}
{% get_available_languages as LANGUAGES %}
<form action="/i18n/setlang/" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
<input name="next" type="hidden" value="/" />
{% csrf_token %}
<select name="language">
{% for lang in LANGUAGES %}
<option value="{{ lang.0 }}">{{ lang.1 }}</option>
{% endfor %}
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
</form>
My thought was to add another item to LANGUAGES that is the native language, like:
LANGUAGES = (
('en', ugettext('English'), 'English'),
('nl', ugettext('Dutch'), 'Nederlands'),
('zh-ch', ugettext('Simplified Chinese'), '简体中文'),)
But Django seems to expect a 2 item tuple for LANGUAGES. Any other ideas?
EDIT per Alexander's comment:
I thought that might be a simpler solution, but after changing the code:
<form action="/i18n/setlang/" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
<input name="next" type="hidden" value="/" />
<select name="language">
<option value="en">English</option>
<option value="nl">Dutch\Nederlands</option>
<option value="ru">Russian\Русский</option>
<option value="zh-cn">Simplified Chinese-简体中文</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
</form>
The Russian and Chinese scripts are showing up as question marks - Russian\???????, Chinese-????
I have <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
in the html, other Russian and Chinese text (outside of this form) appears fine.

Answer 1

Try this:
LANGUAGES = (
('en', '{}/{}'.format(ugettext('English'), 'English')),
('nl', '{}/{}'.format(ugettext('Dutch'), 'Nederlands')),
('zh-cn', '{}/{}'.format(ugettext('Simplified Chinese'), '简体中文')),
)
Then you can use this in your templates:
{% for lang in LANGUAGES %}
<option value="{{ lang.0 }}">{{ lang.1 }}</option>
{% endfor %}

Answer 2

Taking Alexander's suggestion, I was able to get the code in the edit above to work properly. I did not have the <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
line within the 'head' area, which is required, and that was giving me the ???? where the Chinese characters should have been.
After seeing it in action, I may have 2 language selectors, one that gets translated into the current language, and another with the English/Native characters if it isn't too busy.
I also will put the language list in a module and pass it to the template similar to getting the LANGUAGES.
