Country flag icon in Termbase Viewer is not relative to my target language.

Hi,

I created a termbase for my project, everything is okay with it, except for one tiny thing!. The country flag icon in Termbase Viewer is not related to my destination and target language (in my case is Persian) and it should display Iran's flag. but it's not Iran flag. Previously it displayed it correctly, but I don't know what happened to it that shows the weird unrecognizable flag. Also,  I choose US English for my project, but the source term window in Termbase Viewer shows the UK flag.

Best Wishes,

Masoud

  • The reason for the EN UK flag is because you selected a generic English... and quite rightly the UK flag is selected ;-)  If you selected a specific English then you get the flag you wanted. So here I selected English (US):

    In reverse to this you selected the specific Persian (Iran) and that gives you the funny flag you noted as I also did above.  But if I select the generic Persian I get a different flag, which i presume is the one you expected?

    It looks like a bug to me... but it's also worth noting that you should try to be consistent with language selection.  So either always select generic flavours, or always specific flavours.  In general it makes more sense to use generic flavours and then apply attributes where langauge variants come into play:
