Description

For aesthetics and navigational purposes, I'm proposing the addition of the famfamfam flag icons to the 'languages' section on the download page.

I believe this will give the user better navigation, especially for non-English speaking users and users that do not have their language supported on the Kohana website.

es_AR.png, en_GB.png and a couple other flags will have to be added to /branches/website/media/img/flags in order for this to work.

I hope the patch I submitted is okay. Here is the one liner if not:

<li><label><img alt="<?php echo $code ?>" src="<?php echo $base_url,'media/img/flags/', $code, '.png' ?>" width="16" height="11" />&nbsp;<?php echo form::checkbox('languages['.$code.']', $code, isset($download['languages'][$code])) ?> <?php echo $lang ?></label></li>

This is generally a bad idea, since flags are tied to countries and not languages. Take, for example, Arabic... that doesn't have a flag you can use without offending other Arabic speaking countries.

We won't be fixing these because the new website is near completion.
