I think that it should remove national flag on language choice.
It may cause misleading.
Not only Taiwai use traditional chinese, but also Hongkong and other region written in this language.
Same as traditional chinese, the symbol of English language is flag of the United Kingdom is unreasonable on spanish version.

Yes, using flags to represent languages is a popular terrible idea.

You guys are technically right. It just looks really bad without flats and usability is important to me.

I don't think remove flags will be ugly. I could pull request if you think it's okay:

I actually like that first mock-up image, I don't think the flags are necessary to convey a good aesthetic.
