The idea is that the first part is in the national locale being the name in parenthesis in english. Both can be used for more info if the string does not get too long. That way the language name can be read both in the national locale and in english, although other languages written in different locales may show up in a strange way, but you have always the english part. English is an exception with both parts in english, so I think is fine to use the first part for the language name and the second for more detais.
