<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Sorry for my late reaction to this
email, but I totally agree with Sergey that it would be very
useful to be able to select a language. As a translator, I often
want to see the page in English instead of my default language,
Dutch.<br>
As an example, see <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ubuntu-manual.org/?lang=en_US">http://ubuntu-manual.org/?lang=en_US</a>, where one
can choose a language:<br>

So, if more people agree that this is useful, perhaps someone can
add it to help.ubuntu.com?<br>

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/">https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/</a> site directories are
available in several different languages, but there is no way to
switch between them on the site itself.

Currently, to access them, you need to manipulate Accept-Language
request header in your browser. In Firefox, it can be done
<br>
(1) by editing intl.accept_languages preference at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="about:config">about:config</a>
page,
<br>
(2) in Preferences->Content->Languages window or
<br>
(3) by using an extension like Quick Locale Switcher.
<br>
<br>
I think it's better practice for multi-language site to provide
some control to select the language. It will make difference when
a user is not sure he/she understands a sentence in his/her
current language correctly and wants to consult the same page in
another, or suspects a translation mistake. It will make checking
translations for mistakes on-line faster and easier.
