Attached [0] is an example of how the full 'Language' section popover
dialog contents could appear.

A decision needs made on the listing order. In the example [0], the
languages are ordered by their Native/Cultural name with the relevant
localized name parenthetically following. When a language preference is
selected, the list order can either:

- Update to the selected language preference with the native/cultural
name parenthetically following: 'Cultural(Localized)' turns into
'Localized(Cultural)' (as shown in the attachment).

- Do nothing: 'Cultural(Localized)' stays 'Cultural(Localized)' though
the localized language updates to the selection.

Updating the list order is what would be expected from people, since
they just established their language preference. Not updating the list
keeps code simple (I presume) and simplifies the mental model (though it
is maybe less clear to interact with).

The 'Language' section function is to update all listed options when the
'Text Language' is changed. Each following option is individually
changed without auto updating the others. Please confirm the
correctness of this function presumption :)

Also, this uses an exhaustive list but without addressing dialects.

If this is okay, I will move on to the 'Privacy' popovers and have those
for you in a day.

Wordlife,
Spencer
