------------------------------------

Any progress on this issue? I would actually be interested in picking it up if no one's working on it... assign it to me then...

I have a slightly different idea on how to implement this feature. You can get the idea here: http://prefcount.curre.net/ . Notice country icons on the right side in the breadcrumbs - I'm planning to make site locales available as a drop down menu. When a user switches from one locale to another, js code will try to load a page with the same name/path but from a different locale path. For example, choosing a French locale on the "site.net/ru/faq.html" page, would navigate the user to "site.net/fr/faq.html", and English (which is the default locale), would lead him/her to "site.net/faq.html", so there is an assumption here the faq.html would exist in all locale directories. I may add another way to switch between locales - navigate to the locale's index.html instead of trying to load the same path.

> This preference menu could be a list of links or a <select/> tag. 
> The site descriptor needs to be updated:
> * for <select/>, by adding asSelect attribute in the menu element.
> * for links list, by adding nostrong attribute in the menu element (to not display as strong the current language and the current page)
