There is a good article explaining why using country flags as symbols of languages is a bad idea: http://tech.irt.org/articles/js173/ (or http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/flags.html). > How about, if there's an appropriate locale set, putting the "in > LANGUAGE" -- except writing that phrase in LANGUAGE instead of > English.

There is a list of language names in etc/HELLO (also in the `sample-text' property of the language info), so I think writing that phrase in the same language as defined by locale is a good idea. In addition to the direct link to the appropriate tutorial, it will also immediately indicate that Emacs supports the language of the user. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
