Wrong language code for Ukrainian in CSS

[ap-Codkelden]

Description

If Ukrainian language is enabled as interface language, there is no Ukrainian flag displayed.

Design input

CSS class for Ukrainian flag from Superset is <i class flag uk>, with corresponding CSS selector background: url(../images/flags16.png) In flags16.css.

But entry for "uk" is absent in the CSS file flags16.css. Instead of it, an entry

.f16 .ua{background-position:0 -3632px;}

is present on the line 229 of this file.

ISO-639-2 language code for Ukrainian is ua. So please bring into one line CSS file and page source.

Hi @ap-Codkelden! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the superset team.

The issue is caused by a mismatch: Superset uses the ISO 639-1 language code 'uk' for Ukrainian, but the CSS only defines a flag for the country code 'ua', so the flag doesn't display. You can fix this in one of two ways:

1. Add a CSS rule for .f16 .uk in flags16.css with the same background position as .ua:

   .f16 .uk { background-position: 0 -3632px; }

   This will make the Ukrainian flag appear when the UI uses <i class="flag uk">.

2. Update the language/flag mapping in Superset's config to use 'ua' as the flag code for Ukrainian:

   LANGUAGES = {
       "uk": {"flag": "ua", "name": "Ukrainian"},
       # ... other languages ...
   }

   This will make the UI use <i class="flag ua">, matching the existing CSS.

Either approach will align the CSS and the page source so the Ukrainian flag displays correctly in the language selector. Superset expects explicit mapping between language codes and flag codes, so keeping them consistent is best practice. For reference, English uses language code 'en' and flag code 'us' in Superset's config and CSS (source).

To reply, just mention @dosu.
