The international menubar control in mac os:

rookie mistake:  require someone to know what their language is called  
in English (or whatever the primary display language is) to select it.

Provided screenshot is meant for keyboard layout selection (input  
menu), not for system language.


This is the screenshot for system language selection:

...where every option is spelt in its own language.

Hi Erin,

By language controls do you mean something like a drop-down box to
select the translation of the site?

If so, I started a thread on this recently. Here:

And see this, too: http://www.ixda.org/discuss.php?post=42588

Cheers,

Jason R.
