Locale description in switching language UI

[jbalsas]

In the locale switching UI, it would be nice to see a description of the locale.

Right now, the language list gets populated using the locale codes. I know Brackets is a code editor and probably almost everyone knows about locale codes, but it would be nice to complement it with a description like "English (United States)" or "English (United Kingdom)" for instance.

Makes sense. I think this UI is just temporary though--eventually we'll have some sort of real prefs dialog with a sensible UI control (instead of clicking on a bulleted list :)). So we might not want to invest in fixing this right now.

I agree that it's not worth the effort to fix this for the UI right now.

What maybe is, is to think where this description should be. Right now there are only two translations (root and fr) but I'm working on the spanish one, and I've also seen a pull request for norwegian. If the description must be in nls/[locale]/string.js, I think it would be better to know now so the translators can get everything done in one pass and you won't have to be chasing them later :)

Anyway, this is not really an issue. Can you close it or should I?

Reviewed. Moving to backlog as a new feature. Thanks for filing!
