[CROSS-POST] does the language sw[itcher really need that much screen real estate?
Hi, The language switcher takes up a lot of space at the bottom. it also had issues of being not always visible (http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11057). Is there a specific design / UX issue (that I may be unaware of) why it is not implemented as a simple drop down from the masthead toolbar? thanks :) -- Indranil Das Gupta Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.

There is now a new patch which positions the lang chooser at the masthead. Users' are being requested to offer their inputs whether: a) we stick to the way it is currently (at the bottom of the page and with UX issues unless the patch from 11057 is applied) (Reference - http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11057) OR b) we switch to the new position on the masthead using the patch from 14252?
