I agree. Ideally, I'd have a mix of both:

- Let the right page load according to the browser language preference
for simplicity
- Have a dropdown list of languages to allow changing the language

However, that site is right now simply for experimentation and to
provide an aid to translators. If I were to continue with this work I'd
probably look into it, but right now I won't be spending more time on it
other than making sure it works and it's updated up to the release date.

That said, if someone would like to have a go at implementing this on
the generated HTML, it might be a fun and useful small project for
someone with web development experience.

I believe I've fixed the site config to serve the Danish, Greek, Turkish
and Polish pages correctly now, or at least the Danish team has
confirmed. Not sure why the en-US pages were not being served correctly,
can you see them now?

Cheers,
David.
