Currently the language list in settings is translated in each of the target languages. I started to think that this probably doesn't serve the user best. Imagine a situation where the user accidentally clicks on a wrong language and doesn't understand the one he chose.

The clearest (and least effort) would perhaps be a list with the languages only in their native name (e.g. English, Deutsch, Suomi, Svenska, Nederlands...). In this case the language list would be identical in all language files (apart from the title, of course):

      "language": {
        "title": "Language",
        "en": "English",
        "de": "Deutsch",
        "es": "Español",
        "fr": "Français",
        "fi": "Suomi",
        "it": "Italiano",
        "nl": "Nederlands",
        "pt": "Português",
        "ru": "Русский",
        "tr": "Türkçe",
        "ja": "日本語",
        "sv": "Svenska",
        "ur": "اردو"
      }

An alternative solution would be to have both the native name and the name in the currently selected language, which is e.g. the way LinkedIn shows the language list.
