Dennis Lundberg commented on MSITE-41:
--------------------------------------
Yevgeny, when you say "locale icons" do you mean images of flags for different
countries?
If so, then I would be opposed to adding those.
The best way is to use the Locale objects and extract the information from
there. I see two options for what to put in a drop-down menu.
1. Use the 2-letter language codes as defined in ISO 639-1. "en" for English,
"fr" for French, "de" for German etc.
2. Use the name of the language, written in the current language of the site
you are viewing. If you are looking at an English page the names of the
languages would be written in English. "German", "Spanish" and "French" for
example. If the page is in German, you would use values like "Deutsch",
"Spanisch" and "Französisch" instead. It is possible to get this information
using the Locale objects. The [l10n
Plugin|http://mojo.codehaus.org/l10n-maven-plugin/] uses some of those features.
