I may be wrong, but my understanding is that even if you used the
original text version of the page (not an image map), a page with

enough information.
It appears that you are at least approximately right:

Though I wish Google gave more information. But it appears that though
meta tags count a little, a page that is mostly empty will have a low
ranking.
I don't see what we can do other than choose between a simple,
language-independent layout, and a high ranking for the front page.
Perhaps we can hope that the second-level language-specific pages will
have a good ranking even if the theoretical front page does not. I would
be cool with that result.
What do you think?
Cheers,
Daniel.
I would also make sure you have some good comments in the "alt" tag with
the image map. This might help the search engine.
