Added by Hikaru_@userstyles, Created: Mar 03, 2009, Updated: Jun 25, 2011
With the style applied

Description:

Applies to: Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikisource, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikinews, Wikiversity, and other Wikimedia projects.
Adds English names for the language links in the sidebar.
If the English exonym and autonym is similar (identical or just with some diacritics), they are commented out.

If there are any politically incorrect exonyms, I will correct them.
I usually use my own customized version so I might be missing a few things.
Some languages have alternative names commented out.
Suggestions, questions and other language versions are welcome.
Japanese version: ウィキメディア - 言語間リンクに日本語名を表示

Redirects are included.
Exonyms are based on “List of Wikipedias”, “Talk:List of Wikipedias - Meta” or the article for the individual languages.

The screenshots of the inter-language link below is taken from the “English language” article of the English Wikipedia (Vector skin, 2010-4-9).
If the screenshot is scaled down, choose “View Image” from the context menu to see the full size on Firefox.

/* For the Vector skin, you might want to add a bullet for each item:

div#p-lang li:before {
content: url("http://bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.5/vector/images/bullet-icon.png") !important;
padding-right: 5px;
}
