I have created such thing for the download page... though I'm not so sure whether it works now in IE now.Sorry for me dropping in on this, but would it not be an idea if we could check the visitors browser and/or system settings, and depending on this redirect the visitor to the appropriate NL project. Every NL project could place a link to: OpenOffice.org International, or OpenOffice.org Worldwide.Problem however is that it only seems to look at the browser language, not the 'primary language' setting of the browser... So if you have a browser in Dutch for example, you should get an additional link pointing you to the Dutch downloads.... but not when you browsing in English... on the other hand, if you understand English well enough to browse in that language you'll probably also capable of finding the link to the downloads...
So we need something that acts on the primary language setting, on which so many sites already act. Is it difficult to access that setting? Isn't it designed to interact with web servers?
But maybe someone is able to improve the script. I am thinking already for a long time implementing a 'Firefox' like warning (that kind of yellowish bar informing e.g. a pop-up has been blocked) on the top of the main page's screen informing that the user might be interested in OOo in his or her native language. (Preferably written in one's own language of course...Using javascript is btw the best thing we can use... but for most people that is good enough I think.
I think direct access to the NLP sites would be a much better idea. Otherwise, it's one more thing to translate and update, and too many things aren't getting to us translators as it is.
