== Detailed Description ==
We ship lots of languages and country combos. The combo box on the language panel is unwieldy (and broken on touch -- it will not pop up properly on first touch). This feature would replace the combo box with two palettes (as shown in the figures).

From the palettes, you see more choices w/o needed to scroll. Plus the palettes are much easier to use with touch.

== Benefit to Sugar ==
This feature will help us scale to more languages and give better touch support.

== Scope ==
The intervention is limited to:
* sugar/extensions/cpsection/language/view.py

== How To Test ==
{{:{{PAGENAME}}/Testing}}

== User Experience ==
The user will see two buttons and labels displayed instead of a combo box. In the examples illustrated, it means that rather searching through a ''long'' list in a combo box >10x the screen height, the user scans 2.5 screens of items.

== Dependencies ==
No new dependencies

== Contingency Plan ==
There is no adverse impact if this feature does not land.

== Comments and Discussion ==
