There is a good article explaining why using country flags as symbols
of languages is a bad idea: http://tech.irt.org/articles/js173/
(or http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/flags.html).

There is a list of language names in etc/HELLO (also in the `sample-text'
property of the language info), so I think writing that phrase in the
same language as defined by locale is a good idea. In addition to the
direct link to the appropriate tutorial, it will also immediately
indicate that Emacs supports the language of the user.
