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...
Content negotiation... I found this, which is old, but describes the process generally for multilingual sites:
http://www.os2voice.org/VNL/past_issues/VNL1201H/vnewsf8.htmplus some reference links down the bottom. It deals with Apache, but all modern webservers should handle content negotiation for languages at least.
I wish we could get some uniform practice on this kind of thing: different sites, webpages and wikis, everyone seems to come up with their own method of showing languages and marking pages for languages.
