 That is not possible due to the fact that they are static pages, not
dynamic ones.  And that won't change just due to this wish.

 So you are using StarOffice as your browser?  Each web-Browser I've
stumbled upon yet was able to set the languages the user wants -
completely seperated from the locale settings.  Unfortunately it isn't
documented on <http://www.debian.de/intro/cn.de.html> what to do with
StarOffice, but you should get the idea - it should be in the
Browser-Preferences.

 If you know how to change that within StarOffice it would be great if
you could write something down for the pages to be added there - take
the descriptions for the other browsers as a guideline for how you
it should be.

 Would only be possible with dynamic pages that parse the request uri,
and that would just raise the load on the pages, for no gain.
