In addition to having that little flag icon which identifies a member's home country, I'd be interested in something that identifies other players' primary languages. If I knew an opponent's primary language wasn't English, for instance, I could avoid using slang when messaging him or her.

I realize that members can always put that kind of info in their profiles, but making it a selectable option would, I think, encourage people to use it.

Ideally, such a feature would display "Other Languages Spoken" as well as "Primary Language." I'm curious to know what others think of this idea.

Well, rarely has such a suggested generated comments of this nature. It's actually a pretty cool suggestion because it seems like it would be easy to do and would help smooth out some of the communication that takes place.

This will be especially useful after you implement the EU flag *hint hint*
