--- Comment #33 from Gaetan Boisson <gaetan.boisson at biblibre.com> ---
Interesting topic!

My 2 cents:

- I like the icon used by Indranil in his first suggestions (a very generic
flag), i think a lot of people will associate a flag with a language selector
on a website. There are other interesting options using language characters,
but i have the feeling they need more space to be readable.
- Flags as languages sound like a bad idea, France is not the French language
and so on, but it seems we all agree on this.
- They could be used for sub-languages next to the language name itself, it
works for de-DE and de-CH for instance. But i am not 100% sure it works
everywhere, so we could still end up in political territory. (If we had an
Euskara translation for instance, a language spoken in the southwest of France
and a part of Spain, where a number of claims for independence have been made.
Choosing one flag over another will be a political choice...)
- I think we should keep links at the bottom, things at the bottom don't waste
space, and some users will find them there.

All in all i think we are very close to it: a language picker at the top, with
a generic flag icon, sub-languages listed one after another, and links at the
bottom where they used to be.

I am not even sure we need another syspref, if we have a css id for the top
picker unhappy people will be able to hide it easily.
