Steps to reproduce the issue
If the site is using only left to right (LTR) languages, the languages names in the admin login drop-down list appear in the following way: English (en-GB) or French (fr).
If a right -to-left reading language is the default admin language to the site (such as Persian or Arabic), the LTR languages then do not display correctly. Instead they show with two left parentheses, one in the wrong place, as such:
(English (en-GB or (French (fr
Expected result
The display needs to be corrected so the LTR languages show in the following way:
English (en-GB) or French (fr)
Actual result
System information (as much as possible)
This has been tested on Joomla staging

Its all to do with the fact that you are displaying an LTR string in an RTL document
