Description Olivier Hallot 2017-09-29 14:10:59 UTC
From the new help scratchpad, 

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZnSQ4B216CNROHvzXgRwe2SuoJH9MikcxByXYVQm1z8/edit?ts=59cbd4e8#

‘Language’ drop down - doesn't appear on smaller screens in portrait mode (e.g. 320px) and can be replaced with simple 2-char language codes standard listbox. Alternatively, we should set a minimum screen size that help can be seen in, e.g. 480px or 640px. 
Note: some languages need 5 characters, e.g. en-US, en-ZA, en-GB, pt-BR.

Hint: language code name is in the own line, e.g. 

<li><a href="{$productversion}/pt-BR{$htmlpage}">Português do Brasil</a></li>

for pt-BR

A guy at the Spanish-language Telegram channel said that language codes were geeky and user-unfriendly, and I agree… The better option is to replace that drop-down with a fully wide, touch-optimized menu.

Yeah, for the lang code.

I think I will get rid of the dropdown on mobile and have it always display a horizontal scrollable menu, like Adolfo suggested in comment 1.
