Using flag to identify spoken language


In the webapp I am doing, I need to identify language people are speaking. I wanted to use flag to do that. But I have some problems.

For example, if you speak French, you can put the French flag. But if you speak English you can put either the US or UK flag or a mix of both.

Which flag to choose for Arabic language ? Saudi Arabian flag ? Algeria ? Morocco ?


Solution

  • I think it's usual to use fragments of the language as a kind of graphic (text, instead of flags), for example:

    • english
    • français
    • русский язык
    • العربية
    • 中文
