This change has been made because caseless sort is buggy on klecker,
certainly due to a nasty bug concerning locales with perl 5.005.

Right'oh, I've applied it.

Has anyone edited the description file already? (I haven't checked the CVS
yet)

Oh!  Is the language slice used elsewhere?  If not, we could change the first 
letter of all the (European) 
language names to be in upper case (or maybe somehow change them "on the fly", 
before sorting the list?). 
But it may not be important to sort the list correctly, if it is mainly used to 
tell people that our web pages are 
available in many different languages...

Idea about the language links

[peter karlsson]

Hi!

I just got an idea on a small improvement the language links at the
bottom of the page. Now the links are all written in the language's own
name for itself, which is very good if you happen to come to the wrong
page. However, it would also be nice to see the name of the language in
the language of the page (so that I can see that those strange
characters mean). To do this, I propose that we add a title attribute
to each of the language links, so that the language name can be seen in
a popup.

If you like the idea, I can add it, I have hacked this file before. :)

Please don't do that. (At least not without changing them back
to appropriate case on the fly.) For example in Polish,
adjectives may only start with a lower case letter.

This would be nice, but how are you're going to achieve that?

No, as I wrote, the title attribute. That will pop up a description in
a tooltip in most browsers.

For instance:
svenska
