Sorry, I'll try to describe this in more detail.

1) Steps to reproduce:
  * start Pidgin
  * open chat window
  * right-click in the text box where you normally type message (to open context menu) and point mouse 'Languages' option.

2) Behavior expected: languages submenu should contain human readable names, like 'English', 'Russian'. Other applications (e.g. Firefox, LibreOffice) do this.

3) In the submenu which appears there is a list of languages installed in the system, which literally says: en_AU, en_CA, en_GB, en_US, en_ZA, ru_RU. See attachment for menu screenshot.

Also, please note that I have Russian language selected for my account - just in case this affects something.
I think that this problem appeared after Natty updated (I do not remember having this issue before).

Please let me know if I could provide more information.
