Re: UKNM: A quick Language question

[carlo andrea pattacini]

hi Neelesh,


why don't you suggest your friend just to choose

another metaphor?


I've seen too many sites with flags as icons to

choose language.


I think that as a navigator can enter a site not only

in the home page (think of the search engines links),

so the ability to choose language must be given in

every page.


Given this, I think that the best way to let user

choose language is a simple combo box. This also let

you add other language without cluttering your site

with so many flags as an international exhibition

building.


hope this helps

bye, andrea
