The current "Find a language" search box does not work because of a bug in the API that we use. We want to comment out this search box so that users aren't frustrated by it not working.

@JGirault @Jdrewniak Are you planning on using SVGs later in the process in contrast to the PNGs right now?

For now we haven't made a decision on the list of browsers that we support. We try to support them all.

Done and released on March 10, 2016 (PST)!
