Well, reducing the languagechooser screen was one of the ideas behind countrychooser if you remember. However, after several discussions, the current compromise was made with some double choices�: -English (USA) -English (Great-Britain) -English (other countries) .../... This allows people with the "most often used" countries to choose their country in one keystroke, while others still have the choice of getting the locale they may want to have. For details about how this works, readers of this thread can go back in -boot archives for January of February 2004..... There alredy, the Chinese language needed a special treatment because of the way the two written forms are coded�: zh-CN and zh_TW.....which uses a country information for indicating the differences between the two written form of the language. So, I think that languagechooser will stay with this quite long list and some "multi-country" languages like English, Spanish, French, German having a special treatment, adding up to 4 entries to the list (there shouldn't be more than 4 entries-->3 "major" countries and an "other" entry). This is not ideal, but this may allow us solving the TW issue at least partially. I wait for the input of taiwanese people about this proposal. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
