I'm planning to use this algorithm:
getCountryCode (localeString)
1. Create a Locale object from the given locale string. I need a
script service for this. I guess the best candidate is
$services.localization . I need the Locale object also in order to
display the language pretty name.
2. If the Locale object includes a country code (e.g. pt_BR) then return it
3. Lookup the language code in a map that associates a default country
code for languages that are spoken in multiple countries (like
English). This map should be pretty small, i.e. should not include
language codes that are also country codes (like FR). Basically this
map contains only language codes that are not country codes.
4. Return the language code as it is probably also the country code
(otherwise we would stop at 3.)

That's the icon set we use in l10n wiki so
yes it's a good fit but
note that having countries flags is one thing, matching them with
languages codes in another.
It would be pretty easy to maintain an internal mapping (in code) between a flag image
name and a language code.
Language codes are pretty much fixed and it should be easy to have that mapping.
What am I missing?
Thanks

An alternative is to export
http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/L10N/Flags page and update it
when we release new version like with translations.

http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs Hi devs,
In order to implement http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9512 (display
the flag icon and the language pretty name instead of the language
code) I need to bundle a flag icon set in XE. The best option seems to
be http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/flags/ . They say:
"These flag icons are available for free use for any purpose with no
requirement for attribution."
So if no one objects I'm going to add the PNG set to
xwiki-platform-web, in webapp/resources/icons/flags . It weights about
130KB.
The alternative is to display only the language pretty name, but it's
less nicer.
Or maybe you know a better flag icon set.
Thanks,
Marius
