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,
