I can see how this would be useful (indeed, KCMLocale does it), but the=20
implementation would be a little difficult.

If the user selected a country, I could pop up a requester asking to sele=
ct=20
the appropriate language (for multiple-language countries). But if the us=
er=20
selected a language, I wouldn't be able to show the list of possible=20
countries (KLocale doesn't have this option), leaving an inconsistent=20
feature.

I'd also prefer not to have to throw up requesters in Kilt, as the aim is=
 to=20
be as unobtrusive and easily accessible as possible.=20

This feature sounds very much like KCMLocale, for which Kilt provides acc=
ess=20
via the 'Configure Country...' and 'Configure Language...' menu items. To=
 add=20
this to Kilt itself would defeat the purpose of having a separate i18n/l1=
0n=20
switching tool.

Thanks for the suggestions though, much appreciated. :)

Cheers,
Jay
