After this we had an interesting discussion on IRC.... No real conclusion : though some "regions" are nearly obvious, we end up on some difficult cases we sorting out countries. (The short list for regions was "America, North and Central", "America, South", "Europe", "Caribbean", "Asia", "Africa"....and maybe "Pacific Ocean", "Indian Ocean", "Australia/New-Zealand" and "Other".....Americas was a problem with different perception from different people.....) Finally, Steve Langasek brought up an intersting suggestion : instead of sorting countries by regions, why not first show the user with the countries his/her language is used, then show the whole list (either after, or as a separate choice). For instance, users choosing "French" in languagechooser are presented with: Belgium France Switzerland Canada ...lots of African countries... ... Other where Other shows up the full list (or all other countries listed alphabetically) This would require translators to maintain a list of "preferred" countries for their own languages, however. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
