I don't consider it worth rewriting the dropdown function to grab both languages at this time. For its purpose (change the site's user interface to the selected language) the rule is simple: if you can't read the name of the language in its native language, you probably shouldn't be clicking on it.

mlncn commentedYou can provide language names in the native language at /admin/settings/locale
I've done this for Español and Francais.
Aside: Drupal does know these language names in another part: http://dev.wsf2008.net/eng/admin/settings/locale/language/add
A view source on that would let you copy-paste the original characters. (We're not bragging about this system.)
