Let´s say that you are using four cultures on your site: Czech, English, French, Spanish. When using a default Language selection web part, all these culture names are rendered in English language. You may want to show them in national languages instead, so, for example above, like this: Česky, English, Español, Français. This makes a better sense for a user of appropriate culture. See the difference on the screenshots below.

Default behavior:


Modified behavior:



To ensure this, you will need to modify code-behind of appropriate web part, in our case, it is a language selection web part, which is located here:
<project folder>\CMSWebParts\General\languageselection.ascx.cs

By default, there is a following code:

foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
{

// the rest of the default code

You need to modify it by this way:

foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
{
//// end custom code

You can, of course, add any other culture code and appropriate culture name in national language here.
