The en/us icon I still have an issue with. First you are showing the Union jack flag and the USA flag merged together for some reason. Because we have an alliance? It seems for a language it seems. Okay well that can be argued, but then you are displaying the USD currency next to where the Union Jack flag is. Surely an oversight. USA and UK language have many differences in spellings and interpretation. More important is that it is confusing to determine to a customer if you are based in the UK or the USA? Imagine you are on Amazon for example and you can see there could be some confusion there. I immediately changed this image to British because my shop is UK based. A lot of input for one image maybe, but it could have important ramifications to the end user. Are you going to then display Russian flag icon with another Russian speaking country like Ukraine? because you speak the same or similar language?

We have discussed this moment with the team and we have come up to a solution:
  • We will change default language flag to US one (since US customer base is far bigger than UK one)
  • We will add Union Jack flag icon into the distributive, so you can rename it to en.png and X-Cart will start using it for English language in UK stores
  • Upgrade will not rewrite changed flag icons, so the approach above will keep working through upgrades
  • If a merchant wants to use two English languages: US and UK, they will be able to do so, because X-Cart allows a new language with custom language code.

Please, let me know if you see any problems with introduced approach.
