I couldn't agree more - language/alphabet selection should be possible
per-page. It is accepted that it's convenient for the IP to determine
the initial language being served, but please let me have a clickable

Spanish, Bulgarian and Arabic, amongst others)
Thanks for all the good work - - I try to help too. ;)
