I apologize but I'm coming into this thread a little late. FWIW, I wanted
to mention that this is what we use to generate a list of languages[0] for
the Wikipedia Android app.

Less to your question but similar, we also generate localized main page
title and site name[1], and namespace titles[2]. There's also a related
thread in T121936[3] discussing the localized name of all Wikimedia sites.
