English term or phrase: World Flag
"World Flag" meaning a flag that represents all the nations in the world. A flag not for one country or nation but all of them combined, in the whole world
Ben Koch
zastava sveta
Explanation:
I don't know why, but this seems to me more apropriate version. While previously proposed answer correctly imitates the form of "English flag", I am proposing to use form "Flag of England" to set the World apart from nations.

The same form is used to translate World Almanach (Atlas sveta not Svetovni atlas).

neutral  dkalinic: Well, Andrej, as long as both versions are in use, none of them could be seen as better. It's just a matter of choice.

agree  Marjan Golobic: To a native speaker"zastava sveta" certianly sounds better than "svetovna zastava." It's impossible to argue that one of the versions is wrong.
