The location information is actually rather useful - users who are in
physical vicinity to an IdP with known location will be shown this IdP
first in the list, making it more probable that they find their IdP
without having to search long lists.

And it is possible to add more than one coordinate pair. If your
meta-IdP services multiple organisations in multiple locations, I
suggest to add all those locations. You can add locations one at a time,
each time you edit the general institution properties.

Invitations expire after 24h and are then dropping off the list
automatically. That's why we didn't see it as a priority to add an
explicit Revoke button for those.

Does this issue lie heavy on your heart? We can always add such a button
if it is seen as useful.

You can only add languages which actually exist as a user front-end
language in CAT (i.e. what you see on the language dropdown list in UI).

Which means your report is a bit strange: no version of CAT ever was
translated into Japanese, so I don't see how you could possibly ever
have entered a value in Japanese. What you should do in the absence of a
Japanese locale is to enter a value in "default/other languages" instead.

But yes, previously supported languages in CAT 1.x which have now
stopped being supported due to incomplete translations are now displayed
as "(unsupported language)". Are you sure that what you entered back in
the day was Japanese? If you let me know your insititution's ID
(inst_id=x in the URL of the overview page) then I can take a closer
look at what's in the database.

All that said, we are perfectly happy to accept a Japanese translation
for CAT. If you are interested in translating the UI, please get back to
me off-list.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
