Django - Preventing translation of available language names in template

According to the translation documentation you can use the available language tools either in the template or in the python code.

In the template, using the get_language_info template tag: {% raw %}

{% get_language_info for "pl" as lang %}

Language code: {{ lang.code }}<br />
Name of language: {{ lang.name_local }}<br />
Name in English: {{ lang.name }}<br />
Bi-directional: {{ lang.bidi }}
Name in the active language: {{ lang.name_translated }}

{% endraw %}

which can be combined with other tags and build a mechanism that allows you to change languages:

{% raw %}

{% for lang_code, lang_name in languages %}  
    {% if lang_code != LANGUAGE_CODE %}      
        {% get_language_info for lang_code as lang_info %}
        {% language lang_code %}                            
        {% url request.resolver_match.url_name as no_slug %}
        {% url request.resolver_match.url_name slug=object.slug as yes_slug %}  
        <p>Link to: {% firstof yes_slug no_slug %} Local name: {{ lang_info.name_local }}</p>
        {% endlanguage %}
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

{% endraw %}
