-I would avoid any state - country- reference , and especially any flag, since this may be offensive for some users. As already commented, the primary language and the suggested download should be given from browser preferences. I like the idea of having in a visible secondary list of the main languages of the state where the speaker is connected, since this may help users who want their own localization but have a misconfigured browser. Ethnologue should be checked for this. For instance with current localizations, in Spain: Basque, Catalan and Spanish. In France: Basque, Catalan and French.

+In my opinion I do not think to have flags is so offensive. A country is a country an 'local' politics have nothing to do with downloading a program.
+I feel that by clicking on map people can very easily find their language (better than a list), but mostly it is a better marketing tool. Another option is to have a globe and by clinking in your region (america, asia, europe, africa, australia) you will be redirected to the reginional website where you can find your list of languages (which i shorter that all languages).
+If we have click per country of course all languages that are localized and are spoken in that country must be listed.
+Also why is it so bad to have a link in the corner saying:
+"you are in [europe]/[Finland], click and follow me for you language". People can always choose to download the english version from the main site.

+: Well, that's your opinion. I have a great bunch of users who may not agree with your point of view. You can easily understand my POV realizing where I am from. IMVHO, the less "country" references in an international site such as mozilla.com, the better. [[User:Toniher|Toniher]] 14:02, 28 Dec 2005 (PST)
+Note that the status of valencian as a language is debated, currently it is a community edition and doesn't have an official localization. --[[User:AxelHecht|AxelHecht]] 00:47, 21 Feb 2006 (PST)
+: There is not such debate, except for political motivations

+: Valencian = Catalan as Spanish = Castilian or Flemish = Dutch [[User:Toniher|Toniher]] 02:14, 21 Feb 2006 (PST)
