    The flag seem to be only for presentation and the title beside it already reads "language selection", which is what the flag is to indicate. I think in this case it may be suitable to have alt text of "".

    I agree that the flag icon is mainly an aesthetic ornamentation, and whatever semantic significance it carries is duplicated in the title text (in a way, the title text is the alt text to the flag icon). An empty alt text seems appropriate to me too.
