Spanish people don't know what 'Spanish' means and rather see Español.

simply
adding a large combobox calling on the different languages that are
supported on their native locale.
The idea of language drop-down selection is a great one. However, the
problem is that we cannot change the order of the tabs for the
homepage: such a change would affect all other pages and to have the
language selection drop down box on every single page would lose its
value. So with the current setup, it would have to be located behind
the 'Change Language' tab... but that's no good because people
speaking other languages can't be assumed to know what 'Change
Language' means. And if we get rid of the Change Languages tab, then
the minitabs (selection of tabs at the top-right of the page) loses a
third of its value.
Your idea looks also like a great solution but like you mentioned, it will
affect the entire site.
Through some CSS magic I thought you could reposition the changelanguage
before the searchbar. Another option is just to hide this tab and postion
this jump menu in the actual current content of the site.
