Alexandre,
I do not think that sorting by localized strings makes any sense in this case. If I switched (just in error) to Chinese or even Finish how can I revert that?
Maybe it would be good not to localize the entries but to translate inside the code, so that Chinese is always displayed in chinese letters, Russian always using the Cyrillic, German always as "Deutsch". So the native speaker will recognize quite soon.
And yes the en_... etc. is somehow cryptic and not for the user. Is there any example switching the interface language inside the application?
HTH, Adib. ---

I have fixed a bug in this feature. Some language labels where not matching with their respective langcodes: pt, pt_BR, sr, sr@...1894..., es and es_MX where wrong. Also, I would like to ask whether the correct default value shouldnt be "" (that is, langValues[0]) instead of languages[0] (which is _("System default")).
At would be most useful if Inkscape sorted various entries alphabetically in any locale and thus eliminate use of "lang_LANG" ad other tricks. I also mean LPE effects list in combobox. Somehow GIMP does it for localized filters. Navigating through unsorted lists or a list where entries start with something like "en@...1443..." is quite unusual ;-)
