Package: countrychooser
Severity: wishlist
Heya,
I noticed that when I choose 'German' at the first screen, the second
screen presents me with a selection of 'Belgium, Deutschland,
�sterreich, Schweitz' (or similar, I believe the entries were
translated)[1]. The point is that the selection seems to default to the
first country in the Alphabet, i.e. 'Belgium' in this case. As we found
out on -devel today, there are a couple of people speaking german in
Belgium, but the vast majority lives in Germany.
If this is not a too politically sensible area, it would be nice to have defaults for a couple of language/country pairs, at least for the more
commonly spoken ones after Sarge. However, you might to avoid that in
order to play the 'Countries/Territories/Areas are strictly ordered by alphabet, with the selection defaulting to the first one' card, dunno.
Just a suggestion, I was a bit surprised by the default selection, but
nowhere near offended or so, of course.
Michael
[1] Uhm, I hope countrychooser is the right package to file this bug
for.
