[bisq-network/bisq-website] [WIP] Remove flags in locale selector (#243)

[wiz]

> Flags shouldn't be used to rappresent languages or local languages

Again, the flags are not being used to represent languages, they are being used to represent countries. For example, if you click on  🇺🇸 you will see USA specific content, not English specific content.

>  i would avoid an en-US and an en-uk translation

Well yes, obviously. The difference between en-US and en-UK locales is not language, it will be country-specific content such as USA payment methods and UK specific payment methods. The generic "English" locale will not have any country-specific content, which is why it does not have a country's flag.

> Flags shouldn't be used to rappresent languages, please take a look at http://www.flagsarenotlanguages.com.

I took a look at the site you recommended and indeed, under "Best practice for presenting languages" it does say that country-specific content does not apply:
