The problem is that the droplist field type is always storing the item names, not their corresponding display names. You can verify this by looking at the field's Raw Values, you will see that the value will be the same for both languages.

One solution would be to use a rendering variant reference item, which lets you display fields from a referenced item. You would have something like this:
