The current header design looks a bit crowded to me, with the links so close to each other:
This PR changes this by making the links a bit smaller and adding more space between them:
The other issue is the language selector. We're very lucky to have many translations contributed by the community. But that big number is what makes the current selector a bit hard to use (the list is very long). It also has other design issues:
This PR proposes a completely different design. When you click on the link to select the language, you no longer see a dropdown menu. Instead, you see a full page modal window listing all available languages.
For example, if you are browsing the application in Ukrainian and click on the language selector, you'll see this:
The new language selector was inspired by the one used in https://europa.eu pages. In addition to displaying all languages more clearly, we now respect the features of each language, like the RTL direction of Arabic.
