Django template language shortens words

Question

I would like to display the language(s) a user chose for his user profile. Everything is working I just can't display the full language name. So when I write {{user.userprofile.language}} the html Output is "English, Spanish, French" but when I write {{user.userprofile.language.0}} I get "en" instead of "English".

What I have right now:

<span>En</span>

<span>Fr</span>

<span>Sp</span>

What I would like to have:

<span>English</span>

<span>French</span>

<span>Spanish</span>

Anybody know how to display the full Value?

EDIT:

class UserProfile(models.Model):
    language = MultiSelectField(max_choices=3,choices=settings.LANGUAGES, default='en')

settings.py:

LANGUAGES = (
('en', _('English')),
('pt', _('Portuguese')),
('dt', _('Deutsch')),
('sp', _('Spanish')),
('fr', _('French')),
('nl', _('Dutch')),
('pl', _('Polish')),
('au', _('Austrian')),
('ch', _('Schweizerisch')),
('hr', _('Kroatisch')),
('ru', _('Russian')),
)

Answer 1

It looks like you're using this django-multiselectfield package?

Reading the documentation, it looks like you should be doing something more along the lines of this:

{% for code, name in user.userprofile.language %}
    <span>{{ name }}</span>
{% endfor %}

Or perhaps:

{% for code, name in user.userprofile.language.choices %}
    <span>{{ name }}</span>
{% endfor %}

Do either of those solutions work for you?

If not, could you please confirm where the MultiSelectField in your model was imported from?
