Can you change Language Link Text?

When setting up your site for multiple languages, is there a way to control the text that dynamically appears? (for users to switch between languages)

Example:
In addition to the already existing English version of our site, we are migrating from French (fr), to French Canadian (fr-CA). The resulting Language link that appears in the header of our Templated site is presented as "français (Canada)". We don't want "Canada" to appear, so is there a way in Sitefinity to change this?

I've already looked in Admin > System > Inteface Labels & Messages. It's definitely not an option in there. I can do this with jQuery, but I prefer not to.

Thanks in advance for any help,
R

Hi R,

In order to achieve this you could create your own version of the LanguageSelectorControl widget. In this case you could have influence on the rendering of the items inside the dropdown. (or the horizontal/vertical presentations)

Not sure if you are familiar with this, you could take a look at this code:

For a simple page I went the jquery way

You could find your (Canadian) and shorten it. But I guess Daniels solution would be cleaner

PS: I posted the idea many time that we could set text, image, deliminator in the Admin - Language setting next to each language to be used. Like this we would be super flexible.
