--- Comment #31 from Viktor Sarge <viktor.sarge at regionhalland.se> ---
Interesting. Both have their merits. What I like about the current solution is
that it's visible (if we fix that bug...) and that switching language is a one
off thing that you don't need to waste screen space in the top on mobile
devices for. 

Using a drop down seems reasonable when you have many languages, but it does
waste screen space on the top of pages (having to scroll extra on every page in
mobile because of a one off language switcher is no fun). Also it's hard to
make it obvious that it's there. 

Perhaps a hybrid with a drop down showing when there's too many languages
installed to display the all? I still vote for the footer however. 

For a drop down I would solve identifying it with using the language names in
their own alphabet. If I see a drop down on an english web that displays arabic
my first thought it that it will also have french, german, hungarian and
swedish (etcetera) :)
