As mentioned, the actually generated pages that will be available
online from the official website and when installing images can have
any path-hierarchy.
What I could imagine more problematic, are the language names and flags
in the navigation bar of every page. Aren't there latin americans who
would scoff at the spanish flag and seeing "Spanish"?
Stars&Stripes and Union Jack, not to mention all the other english
speaking countries may feel the same. Or, as you mention, the German
flag for Austria and parts of Switzerland etc...
Personally, I find it a bit depressing that our open-source, totally
free OS with people working on it from every part of the world has to
consider these issues at all. But that's not your fault, of course,
you're just the messenger... :)
