[Bug 1970277] Re: "Maori" language option should be "Māori" or "Te Reo Māori"

 

Oh in the drop-down menu. Yes, that is a bit inconsistent. Shouldn't the
languages in the drop-down menu be represented in their native language
like we do everywhere else on the site to make it consistent?

We do have all those in the drop-down menu we see on the homepage when
people are not logged in and select the language they want to see. I
think making that consistent would be best.

- "Maori" language option should be "Māori" or "Te Reo Māori"

Title:
  Consistent display of language names around Mahara

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The new language pack management section was created in this patch:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1884717

  The option for te reo Māori currently just says "Maori" - this is
  missing the macron over the a, and should also really say "Te Reo
  Māori" (imo)

  1. Admin>Development>Languages
  2. Open "Add language" menu

  Expected:
   - see the option "Te Reo Māori" or at least "Māori" (with macron)

  Actual:
   - option is "Maori"

  Brief chat in the Catalyst 'kōrero' channel:
  "For me, Te Reo Māori"
  "I don't think I'd care although 'Te Reo Māori' is the language"
  "I'm used to seeing "Te Reo Māori" or even just "Te Reo""
  "Google only uses Māori
  the word language is already in the selection label?
  Imho what also influences this is whether you write the language names in their language or in English"
