[gui-dev] Re: [trans] Estonian Translation

Given that the internationalization efforts are going so well, and LW=20
4.9 lockdown will be easing soon, I was hoping to start some=20
brainstorming for improving two potential issues with our current=20
'change language' workflow:
  (1)  There's a nasty scaling problem if there are too many languages=20
in the menu.
  (2)  If people accidentally choose a language they cannot understand,=20
frequently they don't know how to find their language again.

I know Philippe was at least considering working on a solution to (1)=20
using a language chooser window.  This seems like it has a lot of potenti=
al.

A potential solution to (2) is to use a flag icon for the 'Change=20
Language' menu item (and also each of the translations in the sub-menu,=20
if necessary).  This additional visual hinting should allow someone=20
scanning through the top-level menus to find their language again. =20
Another option is to do something with the status bar, perhaps only for=20
non-English users.

Any better ideas out there?  =3D)
