Improve NaturalLanguage selector for better usability #319

Open alexskr opened 1 month ago

alexskr commented 1 month ago

The natural language selector in the ontology submission form can be cumbersome to use. The current implementation includes the entire ISO 639-1 list, which contains many languages unlikely to be ever used in ontologies, such as Old Church Slavonic, Old Norse, Gothic, and other ancient languages. This extensive list can make it bothersome for users to find and select common languages.

Current behavior:

  1. The initial drop-down selection is not super useful

    Language
  2. It is not enough to type two characters en to find English, the most common language.

    Armenian

Proposed Improvements:

These changes will enhance the user experience by making the natural language selector more user-friendly and efficient.
