🤔 Is your proposal related to a problem?

Currently, in the home screen language selector, all language names are displayed in English (e.g., "English", "French", "German", "Spanish"). This is not intuitive for non-English speakers who might not recognize their language in English.

Current behavior:

• Dropdown shows: English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Russian, Portuguese, Greek, Bulgarian

😍 Describe the solution you'd like

Display language names in their native language to make it easier for users to identify their preferred language at a glance.

Proposed solutions (in order of preference):

Option 1: Static native names (Recommended - Simple)

Always display languages in their native names, regardless of the currently selected language:

• English, Français, Deutsch, Español, 日本語, Русский, Português, Ελληνικά, Български

✅ Pros:

• Universal recognition
• Users can always find their language
• Simple to implement

Option 2: Dynamic translation (More complex)

Translate language names based on the currently selected language. For example:

• If French is selected: Anglais, Français, Allemand, Espagnol...
• If Spanish is selected: Inglés, Francés, Alemán, Español...

⚠️ Pros/Cons:

• More localized experience
• But users might not recognize their language if they accidentally selected the wrong one

Option 3: Add flag icons (Enhancement)

Add country/region flag icons next to language names for visual recognition.

• 🇬🇧 English
• 🇫🇷 Français
• 🇩🇪 Deutsch

I can take this. I’ll implement Option 1 (static native language names) so the selector always shows native names, with no behavior change otherwise.

From personal experience, Option 2 can be confusing if you accidentally switch to a language you don’t understand (for example, Chinese), since it’s not always obvious how to switch back. As for flags (Option 3), I’d avoid them because they tend to add visual noise and would clash with the current clean aesthetic of the interface.

Option 1 feels like the best balance: simple, clear, and consistent with the existing UI.

If that sounds good, could you please assign this issue to me?
