@Hans: You can force any localized page to show up by including the
language code in the URL, for instance:

https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/index.html.de

The problem is that the addresses in all the links end with just .html.

At https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/ I notice that the
addresses of the internal links end with .html.<lang>. If we can figure
out how to do that, I think it would be an important step forward.

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.
