menu with many many entries of languages

Hello,

I work with digiKam 5.2.0 on a Win 7 system.

Suppose the following scenario:
Select an image item and open window to edit metadata (with menu: item -> edit
metadata).
Select there "edit xmp" and click on button "x-default" to select a language
for tag caption.
Now a menu is displayed that contains all available language signs and this
menu contains more items than can be displayed on screen. See attached
screenshot.

I have the following proposal for a better handling of this high amount of
language items:

1) A typical digiKam user will only work with (lets say) up to 5 or 10
different languages.
So it would be very helpful to have an additional setting that allows to
preselect those language signs that a user will work with.
Now clicking on button "x-default" will open a menu that contains only these
preselected language items. "x-default" should of course be always preselected.
For me it would be much more comfortable to work with about 5 language signs
than about 100.

2) For e.g German Languages the menu contains the following entries: de-DE,
de-AT, de-CH, de-LI and de-LU
But it is not possible to select only language "de"
For me this is a missing feature.

Best regards
Herb
