Farsi or Persian?

While in Persian, Persian language is denoted as Farsi, AFAIK the
right English word for "Farsi" is "Persian"... but on the English UI
it says Farsi.

IMO, we should use the right word on each language to denote all the
other languages, so the English UI should change the "Farsi" instances
(all three of them) into "Persian".

What do you think?

We have gone through this before and others have, too. The consensus among Farsi speakers was to use "Persian." The English UI therefore should be changed.
