 * Hello,
 * I have a Multisite install with three websites:
    1) English 2) Spanish 3) German
 * The English .mo file I have is American English. Automatically the plugin gets
   the American flag. I would like to have a custom flag, namely the UK one.
    The
   custom-flag field is only for custom flag folders and not specific for flag you
   told me in another post.
 * How do I do that?
 * Thanks.
    Jonathan

 * The easiest way I know:
 * – copy the whole flag-directory to your theme-directory
    – copy the us.png to
   gb.png – insert the name of your custom flag-directory in the configuration
 * Cheers,
    Dennis.

 * Thanks for that! I had the same problem. I wanted to display a UK flag instead
   of US flag, when en_US is selected.
 * I’d like to add some details to the procedure to make it easier for someone of
   my level (relative newbie) to understand and apply:
 * – Procedure to change US flag to UK flag for en_US:
 * Download flags zip file from this famfamfam.com URL to your computer:
 * _[Link to non-GPL file removed]_
 * “Extract all” from the zip file to a ‘flags’ subdirectory and upload everything
   in this subdirectory to your theme images directory. In my case this is my Studiopress
   Minimum child theme:
 *  /public_html/wp-content/themes/minimum/images
 * So now you have all your flags in:
 *  /public_html/wp-content/themes/minimum/images/flags
 * This flags subdirectory contains the UK flag (gb.png) and the US flag (us.png)
   that Multisite Language Switcher uses:
 *  /public_html/wp-content/themes/minimum/images/flags/png
 * Next, delete us.png (or rename it to us_old.png).
 * Then copy gb.png to us.png.
 * Final step is to update Multisite Language Switcher Options. Update the “Custom
   URL for flag-images” setting on the relevant sites in your multisite to point
   to your local png subdirectory, in this case:
 *  /public_html/wp-content/themes/minimum/images/flags/png
 * And you’re done…
