This looks nice and similar to toucan [1]. I have built something similar but a bit different for the web [2]. Happy, to share the code in a non-so-permissive license with you if you plan to build out web support.

Curious to hear the reasoning behind using the US flag for English, given there's a country called England.

  That's based on relevance. Same goes for: Portuguese -> Brazil flag; Spanish -> Mexico flag; German -> Austria flag; Italian -> Switzerland flag ;)

  It's the 3rd most populous country in the world, and it's filled with English speakers?

    If those are the metrics we should be using the Indian flag.

    It's just marketing guys, think of it as political pandering, more population, more patriotic population(emotional attachment), etc. I'm sure we all agree that America is more linguistically and geographically "challenged"(market potential) than the Brits yeah?.... sooo market where the market is. As for Brazil, that's a sheer population decision. They tried to shove Spain's version of spanish audio translation into the latin american portion of the new world (the thinking I guess was since america loves the british accent in movies... but it flopped.... now Hollywood/movie industry recruits voices from Mexico and other latam countries.

  And you would prefer the English flag then - not the flag of the UK?

  As far as I know English is different from English in many ways. Colour Organisation Trousers I don't know. Search online.

  If it's written in American English, wouldn't you rather know that from the start? I'd be more annoyed to have all the U's removed after my O's and still see a UK flag.
