Not to mention which, putting the language names all on the main page isn't helpful, since it just puts too much content on the page. We already know that too many links on a page is bad for usability. In the meantime, simply linking the document name to a page full of localized language names would be better, because Rahul is absolutely right that e.g. "italiano" is better than "it." What *would* be helpful is different pages, by locale, that include the translated titles of all the documentation, so for example, pt_BR speakers see "Guia Rápido de Tradução" instead of "Translation Quick Start Guide" on their page. > > The above document doesn't appear in the main page either. > > Ah, you are correct.

Something tells me this is going to be some work and growing pains, but that should be the goal. -- Paul W.
