Thanks for your feedback Sergiu. Note that we have been using flags
for l10n.xwiki.org for a very long time, if not from the beginning. We
should remove them I guess.
I'll display just the language name for now in the Language search facet.
Thanks,
Marius

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
