Using flag to identify spoken language
flags, language-design, language-features, web-services
Solution
I think it's usual to use fragments of the language as a kind of graphic (text, instead of flags), for example:
- english
- français
- русский язык
- العربية
- 中文
Problem
In the webapp I am doing, I need to identify language people are speaking. I wanted to use flag to do that. But I have some problems. For example, if you speak French, you can put the French flag. But if you speak English you can put either the US or UK flag or a mix of both. Which flag to choose for Arabic language ? Saudi Arabian flag ? Algeria ? Morocco ?
