Sebastian and I would like to see the ability to filter by locale in the  
Zotero Style Repository (see [http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/21148/](http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/21148/) ).  
Now that the code for the repository is up at  
[https://github.com/zotero/styles-repo](https://github.com/zotero/styles-repo), I might even try coding it, if Dan  
agrees to a specific solution.

With regard to the implementation, maybe we could have a dropdown menu with  
the following options:

Style language:  
“Any” (default)  
“English”  
“French”  
“German”  
“Portuguese”  
“Spanish”  
“Other”

Some thoughts:

- I’m not completely sure what to do with styles without a default-locale  
attribute. We could either give them their own label (“International”/“No  
set language”?), or just group them with the English styles (we could  
modify the label in the latter case, e.g. “English/International”).
- We could show the style count as part of the label, e.g. (“French (29)”).  
Anybody for or against?
- We currently sometimes include a language description in the style title,  
e.g. “(German)” in  
[https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/kritische-ausgabe.csl](https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/kritische-ausgabe.csl).  
This is a bit ugly, but is handy when searching for styles, and useful for  
distinguishing variants like “Chicago Manual of Style (author-date,  
German)” and Chicago Manual of Style (author-date)", so I’d like to keep it  
that way.
- I think we should limit the amount of menu entries to prevent the menu  
from becoming too unwieldy. For many languages we only have a few styles  
anyway. The current count, for the independent styles:
