*'''auto''': Autonyms, separated by a slash. WORD1 / WORD2 : space before and after the slash. <span style=" color: red">Vincent:</span> you are right because there can be comma in the name. This is important because each name will need to be extracted using the slash. There can be a large number of autonyms: only the first one or the one matching the request will be displayed. <span style=" color: red">GrimPixel:</span> In fact the first one may have no higher popularity than latte ones. And if it only shows one auto, it becomes meaningless to create many auto. I think there can be a textbox, which can follow the cursor. When the cursor moves to an item, the textbox shows all alter and auto. <span style=" color: red">Vincent:</span> it must show directely the matching auto, else show the first auto. if move cursor over the line, show all auto (but I am afraid this will make the diplay not user friendly, too many things happening when the user select/hover a language). Create many auto is necessary in case the user type one of the auto in the list. <span style=" color: red">GrimPixel:</span> There should be many autos. But if only one can be shown, users won't know that we have so many. It's hidding the attractiveness. Omniglot does it here https://www.omniglot.com/writing/languages.htm <span style=" color: red">Vincent:</span> Ok, I'll try <span style=" color: red">GrimPixel:</span> I think now we have so many English alternative names, so it should be like this: for English alternative names, only the one the user is typing will be displayed in parenthesis; for Autonyms, they will all appear in a tooltip. <span style=" color: red">Vincent:</span> It should work like this. If user type auto, show "English Name (first matching auto)". If user type alter, Show "English Name (first matching alter)". If user type English name, show "English name (first auto)". All the time, on hover show "all auto +  all alter" <span style=" color: red">GrimPixel: Well, it's also good. But I doubt if they can be shown by hovering mouse, is it necessary to show one of them again in parenthesis? I also doubt as there can be so many alters, they may take much space to be displayed. The alters from Scriptsource are fetched from Ethnologue, so there are some alters being identical with "name". But I think it can be kept unchanged.</span>
