Just the sorting is not intuitive... Maybe sort by Name (with non-Latin
at the end) or by language code? I can't figure out if there is a sort in
place at the moment, it seems rather random to me. Or maybe it's sorted by
English name, but since we don't show the English name this doesn't help
the visitor.

Good point, Andreas. I'll try that.
Interesting, that you chose Cyrillic second. Does it imply that Europe is
the center of the world? (first Latin, then Asia, then far east/west with
strange fonts :) I'm kidding, of course. Can you elaborate the order you
have in mind? i.e. what goes after Cyrillic?

Marcus, marcus, don't be greedy. But, now that you mention it, how about
fixing the CSS on Linux? Once, you mentioned there's too much
spacing/padding.

Am I being ethnocentric? By no means! :) I think a good logical point of
reference for sorting the list are the percentages of native AOO users
(i.e., the alphabets they're representing) as stated on the Download by
Coutry page http://www.openoffice.org/stats/countries.html.
You'll see that the countries using the Latin alphabet predominate. Than
comes Russia (#8) accounting for one half of the Cyrillic world, then
probably the logographic/pictrographic scripts.

Hi, I tried it fastly, and I see that the English item is always
selected by default. When I change language to my native Slovak (or
whatever) on list is still selected English.
This implies, after language change you cannot go back to english site.
You need to define the 2 new variables in brand.mdtext, for Slovak to be
the default selection in the dropdown, in the Slovekian website. Until
then, use the Back button.

Developers translators are called to add 2 new variables to
{lang}/brand.mdtext, and change according to their language:
selectedlang: en *
language: Language **
(* change to your language code; ** translate title to your language)
For example, choose Hebrew from the dropdown, or see /he/brand.mdtext, or
/xx/brand.mdtext.
Note: Native Languages link from the menu would probably be removed in
the future, when the language dropdown would be more familiar and adopted.
Done for NL page.
Thanks Tal
