It looks like the issue is more deep rooted and requires further changes.

```hbs
{{combo-box valueAttribute="value" content=availableLocales value=model.locale none="user.locale.default"}}

```

This populates data from the `availableLocales` which is defined like this:

```js
availableLocales() {
  return this.siteSettings.available_locales.split('|').map(s => ({ name: s, value: s }));
}

```

Which is a pipe separated string of language values.

```irb
pry(main)> SiteSetting.available_locales
=> "ar|bs_BA|cs|da|de|en|es|et|fa_IR|fi|fr|gl|he|id|it|ja|ko|nb_NO|nl|pl_PL|pt|pt_BR|ro|ru|sk|sq|sv|te|tr_TR|uk|vi|zh_CN|zh_TW"

```

Because it is generated like this:

```ruby
def self.available_locales
  LocaleSiteSetting.values.map{ |e| e[:value] }.join('|')
end

```

On the the names and values both were available, but only values were pushed in the `client_settings`.

```irb
pry(main)> LocaleSiteSetting.values
=> [{:name=>"اللغة العربية", :value=>"ar"},
 {:name=>"bosanski jezik", :value=>"bs_BA"},
 {:name=>"čeština", :value=>"cs"},
 {:name=>"dansk", :value=>"da"},
 {:name=>"Deutsch", :value=>"de"},
