[izpack-devel] New language

[Grégory Joseph]

If I may add my 2 cents, I would just suggest that you guys just get  
rid of the flags altogether. Many languages are spoken in multiple  
countries (english, spanish, french, german, ...) and many countries  
speak multiple languages (Switzerland, Belgium, ...). One way or  
another you're "hurting" someone's sensibilities. The country concept  
is irrelevant since you're choosing a language. Use language code,  
use the standard Locale* class, and if you need country-specific  
language variations, java.util.Locale permits this. (new Locale(lang,  
country))

Cheers
