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.
