Hi,
First of all we need to decide how prominent we want this functionality to
be.
I would make it more transparent, since theoretically you should change
your language preference just once (in the Administration, and per user)
and all the pages should be displayed according to that preference. This is
not something that need to be highly visible and that you would change
every day. IMO it's more important to be better displayed when you want to
create a new translation, than when you read one.
Regarding the flag to represent languages you can read this comment with
additional information about why we wouldn't do it like that
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9512?focusedCommentId=77895&page=com…
Thanks,
Caty

Hi Cathy,
2.1.1 is the one I prefer, 2.1.2 is also good but the separation between
language should be more clear, and it is less easy to see the active one. I
have no fear about the scaling issue, even heavily multilingual site like
those of the European Commission use such enumeration without issue. And as
Guillaume said, it is really rare to have more than a few languages anyway.
Other proposal implies multiple click/touch for the same purpose, which is
bad IMO for content. It is also important to only display effectively
available languages, but with an enum, it could be also good to have the
option to also display unavailable one greyed, so language keep their
location on screen.
Regarding the UI language, 1.1 is fine, but maybe a bit large. Having only
initial in the bar would be better IMO. Having also a more fancy solution,
like what I have done with bluebird (see http://softec.lu), could be nice
to have as well... or a easy way to customize it that way with an
extension.
Thanks,

Hi devs,
We have http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10745 (Improve the display of
available languages in Flamingo) which is related to
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-6402 (Separate Interface language and
page language settings)
While in Flamingo we could just make the language links look better,
without changing the functionality, for the future, the separation is
something we might want to tackle, that's why I've created this proposal
page
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/InterfaceAndContentLanguage…
I am interested in what you think about the variants.
Thanks,
Caty
