Summary

Outputs a country select list and/or a language select list. Automatically detects language and country codes from browser headers.

Usage

Helper Class:

<?php  echo $lang->countrySelect('Foo.country'); ?>

Helper Class:

<?php  echo $lang->languageSelect('Foo.language'); ?>

You can override defaults such as:

Helper Class:

<?php 
echo $lang->countrySelect('Foo.country', array(
    'label' => __('Choose a Country', true),
    'default' => 'ru',
    'class' => 'some-class'
));
?>

<?php 
    echo $lang->languageSelect('Foo.language', array(
        'label' => __('Choose a Language', true),
        'default' => 'sp',
        'class' => 'some-class'
   ));
?>

Note that the 'default' option is only used if the form was not previously submitted, and country/language information could not be extracted from the HTTP request.
