[i18n] Adding language names in every i18n.json files might not be a good idea

proposal: load the language names from project-tap.i18n.

In pull request #896 , the names of the languages in change language menu are maintained in every i18n.json files as the below example shows:

"langCodes" : {
                    "de": "Deutsch",
                    "en": "English",
                    "es": "Español",
                    "fr": "Français",
                    "ja": "日本語",
                    "ko": "한국어 ",
                    "nb": "Norsk",
                    "pt": "Português",
                    "zh": "普通話",
                    "zh-TW": "國語"
                }

Suppose a new language needs to be added. Either the translation contributor needs to add that language names in every i18n.json files, or the dev team have to by somehow inform the contributor to do so and to make sure the job done right. That might be an overhead to the dev team.

Ideally, load the language names from project-tap.i18n.

alexvandesande's solution sounds great. We only need the language name in the en.i18n.json.

So an instruction for this is added in the Translation and i18n Guide.
