Two (non-mutually-exclusive) options:
a) Rename locale names to shorter ones (e.g. like the mozilla.com site does it in their drop-down. This should also be done for consistency anyway)

AND

b) Limit the width of the select to ~250px (+/-)
See attached screenshot for a demo of the latter.


I say we do both. But I'm concerned about how locale leaders would react to renaming their locales. Opinions?

Because there we only list what's in parenthesis, without the abbreviation. We could also just do that... instead :)
