[TYPO3-english] Sr_language_menu Dropdown issue

[Nils Hodyas]

Hi,

I'd recommend the typoscript (or Link) option, too

Dropdown has drawbacks:
- usability (one click more)
- (maybe) seo - to my last knowledge, searchbots don't go past form 
fields (is it one? i stopped using sr_language_menu years ago)

I found the TS version much more simple to handle, too.

Greetings!
