It has, however, become a convention to a certain degree on the web. </p> <p> Flags for languages is a bad idea in a web interface context. Flags to represent countries (the real one’s, on flagpoles) are a good idea though! </p> <p> <strong>Kyle</strong> - Thanks Kyle, appreciate it. If you look in the ‘articles’ section, there should be some links to that series of articles. Hope you enjoy them. </p> pixeline — Interesting questions.
