Done for Italian. Works nicely, thanks for developing it.

Just the sorting is not intuitive... Maybe sort by Name (with non-Latin
at the end) or by language code? I can't figure out if there is a sort in
place at the moment, it seems rather random to me. Or maybe it's sorted by
English name, but since we don't show the English name this doesn't help
the visitor.

In indices containing entries of different alphabets, it is a good
practice to sort them separately, e.g. starting with the Latin entries,
then moving to the Cyrillic ones, and so on.

Good point, Andreas. I'll try that.
Interesting, that you chose Cyrillic second. Does it imply that Europe is
the center of the world? (first Latin, then Asia, then far east/west with
strange fonts :) I'm kidding, of course. Can you elaborate the order you
have in mind? i.e. what goes after Cyrillic?
Am I being ethnocentric? By no means! :) I think a good logical point of reference for sorting the list are the percentages of native AOO users (i.e., the alphabets they're representing) as stated on the "Download by Coutry" page <http://www.openoffice.org/stats/countries.html>.

You'll see that the countries using the Latin alphabet predominate. Than comes Russia (#8) accounting for one half of the Cyrillic world, then probably the logographic/pictrographic scripts.

Done for German, works great.

Keep up the good work, what's next? ;-)

Marcus, marcus, don't be greedy. But, now that you mention it, how about
fixing the CSS on Linux? Once, you mentioned there's too much
spacing/padding.
