Please, stop using national flags for denoting human languages. Both entities do not match. Using flag is discriminating minorities - it is not appropriate to discriminate someone even if this would actually improve accessibility.

These misleading flags are that small that I often must look twice to recognize them; and if recognized, it isn't even sure that I know what they mean! I don't watch TV and that's probably why I'm not familiar with all these modern flags.

Instead of flags use a cobination of language code (ISO) and the native name:

de - Deutsch en - English es - Español ja - 日本語 etc.

For reference see http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Templates_for_galleries (where you must change the templates) and http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump . As long as this feature is under discussion we should stay away from announcing it; at least, for the time being we must make it as neutral as possible: Display {{german}} as <nowiki>{{german}}</nowiki> .

It is important for me to get this issue right.
