I have two languages configured, so it's 3 options: undefined, en, de. 3 flag icons would suffice - make it more obvious (visual differentiation between them) and be usable with one click.
When expanded, my comment has 7 action icons. All of them are greyed out, and are visually on the same layer and type.
When I look through them I see different groups though:
On your comment, when expanded, I see 8 action icons. Even more. All the same visual weight with no differentiation.
What I would like to see is visual grouping of the different kind of activities. That'd not only make correlation, relation, and interaction closeness more obvious, but provide visual help to the eye in locating the desired actions. It'd also make it more obvious what the icons (which have no visible text labels) mean through differentiated association.
I'd do a DOM edit mockup, but it looks like the HTML source is minified.
What kind of visual are you thinking for the grouping? Underlines, separators, spacing, something else?
