Where are the country flags?

I use FC6 with KDE 3.5.5 and when i open Control Center -> Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard Layout there are no images for the countries flags. How can i install them? I can't find a package with that description in yum.

Fedora's position on country flags is described in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Languages

Thanks for the info RahulSundaram. I didn't know that.

I found some flags with the appropriate size and copied them under /home/axel/.kde/share/locale/l10n/country code but kde doesn't recognize them. Shouldn't it?

Download kbflags from www.kde-look.org and then do something like the following.

Code:

[axel@aeris ~]$ sudo cp downloads/kbflags-1.0/21x14/gr.png /usr/share/locale/l10n/gr/flag.png
[axel@aeris ~]$ sudo cp downloads/kbflags-1.0/21x14/us.png /usr/share/locale/l10n/us/flag.png

The correct path is /usr/share/locale/l10n/country_code/flag.png

MY question is of a similar nature, though slightly different.

I understand why flags are a bad idea; but the problem is that they could have done it as it is in Windows, by showing the two-letter code that corresponds to a language.

What I have is "US 105 keyboard with windows keys", "ro" and "Russian Keymap". Is there a way to make it EN/RO/RU? The labels take a lot of space and this does not look right.

How can this be handled? (I am using FC6 with Gnome)
