In the admin section, “default locale” selection combo-box shows names of languages such as “Deutsch” and “English”. However, if the “allow user locale” is enables, the “interface language” selection combo-box shows language values instead, such as “de” and “en”.

I think it would be fixed if [preferences.hbs#L125](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/a94f06ff7843bdd9b3904c73ad97e522f666ef11/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/templates/preferences.hbs#L125) is changed from `valueAttribute="value"` to `valueAttribute="name"`.
