  Firefox Non-English Start pages not localized properly

Bug description:
  Firefox stores it various locale specific start pages under /usr/share
  /ubuntu-artwork/home/locales/

  The purpose of these start pages is to provide useful locale specific
  links to the Ubuntu Community Forums, Wiki, IRC Chat Channel info etc.

  Examining some of the pages that are of interest to Dell, I found that
  several of these need some fixing. Here is the comprehensive report:

  1) SPANISH:

  Files: index-es.html, index-es_AR.html and index-es_ES.html

  a. The "philosophy" link is not translated
  b. The "Wiki" link is not localized
  c. The "Community Forums" link is not localized
  d. The "Mailing List" link is not localized
  e. The respective country main web pages (http://www.ubuntu-es.org/, http://www.ubuntu-ar.com.ar/) are not listed
  f. The IRC channel and website info are not listed

  Basically, all the info from http://www.ubuntu.com/support/local#head-
  a72e9b087996cb3a9a064a068f64e66b3c106d24 needs to be incorporated into
  the respective spanish start pages and they currently are not.

  2) FRENCH:

  Files: index-fr.html, index-fr_FR.html and index-fr_CA.html

  a. The main website ("ubuntu-fr.org") is not listed (Reference:
  http://www.ubuntu.com/support/local#head-
  9eeb7d8cfc324eabe05e480dbc39698d8cc74801)

  Basically with the exception of the one line item listed above, the
  french start page is near perfect and a perfect template for how the
  other non-english pages should be.

  3) GERMAN:

  Files: index-de.html and index-de_DE.html

  a. The "philosophy" link is not translated
  b. The "Wiki" link is not localized
  c. The "Mailing List" link is not localized
  d. The IRC channel and website info are not listed

  Basically, all the info from http://www.ubuntu.com/support/local#head-
  1e9e6e670316872f012c6718fc1ba5837e684338 needs to be incorporated into
  the respective spanish start pages and they currently are not.

  4) PORTUGUESE:

  Files: index-pt.html and index-pt_BR.html

  a. The "philosophy" link is not translated
  b. The "Wiki" link is not localized
  c. The "Mailing List" link is not localized
  d. The IRC channel and website info are not listed

  Basically, all the info from http://www.ubuntu.com/support/local#head-
  159b068c63a1f74d57603fe9a20b3329f192a1dd needs to be incorporated into
  the respective spanish start pages and they currently are not.

  5) SIMPLIFIED CHINESE:

  Files: index-zh_CN.html and index-ZH_TW.html

  a. The "philosophy" link is not translated
  b. The "Wiki" link is not localized
  c. The "Community Forums" link is not localized
  d. The "Mailing List" link is not localized
  e. The respective country main web page (ubuntu.org.cn) is not listed

  Overall, the lack of this proper localization creates a very poor
  customer experience of Gutsy for someone who is relying on one of
  these non-english languages and the browser start pages to help him
  get started on Gutsy.
