If Dutch, German and French were supported languages on the site I imagine that flags of the Netherlands, Germany and France would be representing the language selection.

As a US citizen I often visit sites that use a British flag to represent English. I don’t bristle because there’s not a US flag or question whether the US flag should also be referencing Spanish.

It’s just a detail to draw your eye that otherwise holds no importance once that is accomplished.

Except Belgian "Dutch" is called Flemish. And is different enough from the other Dutch to warrant its own i18n.

Belgium is an exceptional case but I'm sure you can find more.

As an example: "weerhouden" in Flemish means "to be included", while in Netherlands' Dutch it means "to be excluded".

Or take "poepen" which means "to have sex" or "to take a shit" depending on which country you are in.

I frequently have to ask my friends from the Netherlands to clarify something because, even though I hear which word they're using, I have no idea what they mean because the words mean something different or are just never used that way in Flemish.
