Though I think its more of an aesthetic/personal point, I must confess
that I don't like it at all.

I think you can change that with the theme but that's not a good
solution tought. Possible simple solutions for it are:

- superposition of characters of different languages;

- the use of a "United Nations" flag (while some people would have
  problems with that, I did say it's far better than a
  COUNTRY_1/COUNTRY_2 duo).

- the use of a globe


Complicated custom solution I kind of like:

- locale dependent icon set, if at installation you say you are at
  country X, then display the flag of X and the flag of any neighboring
  country like;

  US? -> US/Canada or US/Mexico

  Brazil? -> Brazil/Argentina

  etc
