It is not an issue; but, an improvement.
Summary of Changes
For example, if German is Switched as the back-end Administrator language, following message is displayed:
Die Administrationssprache wurde auf "German (Germany)" geändert.
With the change proposed, the following message would be displayed:
Die Administrationssprache wurde auf "Deutsch (Deutschland)" geändert.
When the message is displayed in the native language (e.g., German), it would be nice/better to show the language's Native Name/Title instead of the Name/Title in English.
Testing Instructions
- Log into Joomla! 4's back-end (site-url/administrator) with an account that has Super User privileges
- Install the German language by going to the screen "Extensions: Languages" (System => Install -> Languages)
- Go to the screen "Languages: Installed (Site)" (System => Manage -> Languages)
- Choose "Administrator" from the dropdown (that show the client) - The screen "Languages: Installed (Administrator)" would be shown and the list of languages installed that has Administrator pack would be shown
- Choose the language German and click on the button "Switch Language"
Now the German language would be the back-end administrator language. Also, a message confirming the language switch would be displayed as shown below in the German language.
Die Administrationssprache wurde auf "German (Germany)" geändert.
Notice that even though the message is in German, the language name shown is in English.
NOW, APPLY THE PATCH WITH THE CHANGE PROPOSED AND REPEAT THE TEST STEPS 1 TO 5 AS LISTED ABOVE.
After, German language is made as the back-end administrator language, following message would be displayed confirming the language switch.
Die Administrationssprache wurde auf "Deutsch (Deutschland)" geändert.
Notice the difference in the name of the language displayed between the messages before and after the change.
Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request
Notice that the message is in the native language (e.g, German) whereas the language name shown is in English.
Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request
Notice that the message is in the native language (e.g., German) and the language name shown is also in the native language (e.g., German).
Documentation Changes Required
Probably Joomla! 4 documentation screenshot in case if the switching message is shown in the screenshot.

In J4, you can assume nativeName to be always present. In J3 there can be old packs which don't have it (it was added in a J3 release) but it's a required field since quite some time.
So if it's missing, it's a bug in the language pack.

I've tested with all currently available J4 languages, which currently are:
It seems the Portuguese language pack uses wrong "QQ" in the language string for the message:
But it seems that's already fixed on Crowdin and so should be ok in future versions of that language pack.

Can we be sure that all language packs provide the
nativeNamein their XML?
