This bug bothered me so much that I registered myself to Ubuntu One to
be able to post a comment about it.

I suggest you to add at the bottom of the page a link like :

"This website is available in many languages
Switch Language"

like for the The Gnome project. ( or every web site with technical
documentation)

have a nice and keep the good work

Florian

  Impossible to choose language on help.ubuntu.com

Bug description:
  I am a Dutch user. However, for virtually any technical documentation,
  English is the lingua franca on the web. It is an incredible nuisance
  to look up technical details in Dutch. I appreciate the effort to make
  help.ubuntu.com accessible in all languages, however it is a TERRIBLE
  idea (and quite frankly, since the content is available in English,
  but I can't access it, I classify it as a bug) to prevent people from
  changing the language they read it in.

  Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  I expect to be able to read online help files in English.
  Instead, I am forced to read them in Dutch.
