A ISO 639 to Endonym converter for the Godot Engine.
NOTE: This was only tested in Godot 4.1, but probably works in >3.0 too.
Selecting the correct language can cause a challenge for a player. The app could falsely recognize the users main language and thus set a language which is not comprehendable for the user, e.g. non roman characters.
Thus, instead of creating language options such as: "Chinese" "English" "French" "German" "Italian" "Spanish"
it should look like that: "中文" "English" "français" "italiano" "español"
