Flags and labels suggestions
| Current rendition | Suggestion | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| English |
American English |
Similar to Spanish and Portuguese, the default English could become the American variant, meaning anything only existing in British or Australian English and not in American English would now no longer use this label. |
| English N/A |
 English American English |
Similar to French (and formerly Spanish and Portuguese), we could have a default English in addition to an American variant and when there is no regional difference, the default would be used. The regional ones would be used only when relevant. The general English label here uses a popular flag usually used to represent global English. |
| Traditional Chinese |
Traditional Chinese |
Since it's the only language with multiple flags, maybe using only one may be a better idea, for consistency purposes. |
| French |
 French |
It's weird to have a separate general French label that uses the French flag while also having a separate label for Metropolitan French. This suggestion uses the flag of the OIF. |
| Canadian French |
  Canadian French |
Since French is not the main language of Canada, the use of its flag feels weird. This suggestion follow the pattern of Traditional Chinese and uses the main French-speaking provinces' flags. |
| Canadian French |
Quebec French |
Alternatively, since Quebec French is the main dialect over Acadian French, replacing "Canadian" by "Quebec" is a possibility. |
| German |
 German |
German is also the only language of Austria. This suggestion follow the pattern of Traditional Chinese. |
Order suggestions
The current order of the table feels difficult to navigate when there is a lot of informations in the table, so here are a few suggestions. I included flags for simplicity but it has nothing to do with the previous suggestions.

This is a more complex order that would use tabs for regions. I think this would be more useful with more languages. For the sake of demonstration, I'll use some of my flags and labels suggestion, those are not part of this ordering suggestion.
