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.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-77895 Thanks, Caty On Wed, Aug 20, 2014 at 9:37 PM, Denis Gervalle <[email protected]> wrote: > 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.
