Title:
  Language switching unavailable in official web help for 11.10 and
  12.04 desktops

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  New
Status in “ubuntu-docs” package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  I discovered that https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu-help/ and
  https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/ site directories are
  available in several different languages, but there is no way to
  switch between them from the site itself.

  Currently, to access them, you need to manipulate Accept-Language request header in your browser. In Firefox, it can be done
  (1) by editing intl.accept_languages preference at about:config page,
  (2) in Preferences->Content->Languages window or
  (3) by using an extension like Quick Locale Switcher.

  I think it's better practice for multi-language site to provide some
  control to select the language. It will make difference when a user is
  not sure he/she understands a sentence in his/her current language
  correctly and wants to consult the same page in another, or suspects a
  translation mistake. It will make checking translations for mistakes
  on-line faster and easier.
