I've created a page for testing the new language dropdown here:

brand-template-with-language-select-without-vars.html
Notes: [...]
Please test it a bit, comment here, and if all goes well, I'll move the
code into the site brand.html template, to affect all sites.
[...] One suggestion:
I think it's better to write also the English name into the selectbox. Of
course, e.g., a Russian guy knows what to choose to see the webpage in
Russian. However for others that need to go there, too, it's a bit
difficult - especially when the character set is different than Latin.
Also I would add a "Choose a website language" (or similar) as first item.
You can use this as default and fall-back if something is not working.
Maybe with some "-----" to separate from the lang items.
Marcus, I prefer not to have redundant information on the select. If by
"others that need to go there" you refer to developers, I think they can
easily examine the source code: I've added a comment next to each<option>,
stating the language in English.
I don't see it as redundant information as it helps to identify what to
choose. And I mean the average user, not developers especially.
Sorry, but why do I need to inspect the source code to see which
language item I've to select? Doesn't make sense to me. ;-)
The same goes with "choose a website language:". I prefer to show the
current language, as a sign that other languages exist.
OK
Marcus
