I draw a distinction between choosing country and choosing language. Most often designers choose to use a map and/or list as a country select. I generally would not expect the country name to be in a different language or character set than the primary.
For language selection, I think it is perfectly appropriate to use the target countries target language as the link name. For backup, some designers use flags as a secondary label (Union Jack for English, Tricolor for French, etc.) ./matthew . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
