--- Comment #71 from pixie <[email protected]> --- > Could imagine to have checkboxes with the Default Languages dropdowns instead > of the green check marks today. * 141 languages utilize the Cyrillic writing system. * 44 languages utilize the Arabic writing system. * 14 languages utilize the Hebrew writing system. For any of those writing systems, one is looking at way too many check-boxes/drop down choices. There are 293 writing systems spread over 4,000 languages, or if you wish to include languages that are not yet written, 7,400. The same language can have different spelling, grammar, and syntax conventions in different countries. A hypothetical worst case scenario of 1.5*10^9 combinations of language, country, and writing system. Any option chosen needs to: * Offer no more than seven options at each choice; * Be easily expandable to that number of combinations; * Not overwhelm the naive user; * Not frustrate the sophisticated user; Naive user: How do I write this document in British English? Sophisticated user: Why do I have to jump through so many screens to switch between English written in Kata Kana, and Afrikaans written in the Arabic writing system? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
