Description
I suggest that the icon for localization is changed to something neutral, not reflecting any country, policital "direction", or other "propaganda". Should use something that does not "stir" anyone, regardless of them coming from east, west, developed countries or not, other religions, etc.

#1
Well we would not want to offend anyone. So what would you suggest the icon look like? If it shows any indication of a particular language or country SOMEONE will surely be offended. In an attempt to not cause any kind of international tension or unrest, I'll remove the locale icon from the set for now. Perhaps the default icon will be the least likely to offend someone. Although I might hear from the "Anti Gray Square" activisim group now.
#2
locale icon removed from both 4.6 and 4.7 versions
#3
Great, thanks. That will do for now.
If anyone come up with a neutral flag or other icon that may suit "localization" associatively (to easily spot what one is looking for), then please post it here.
Closing this issue.
