[Translators] lang-switch for the main page

[M. T.]

finally, I have still two questions:

1. Why is the Google+ Button showing the number >9999 ? Some bug? There is also an option to disable the counter.

2. When searching for vlc on google with german locale settings the google index shows me the english description of the page: www.videolan.org/vlc/‎‎  but it should display the index of the german page. The given index page is index.de.html. So each local version of the system and browser should display their version of the index page as an result. I noticed that many users that are searching for vlc in google don't pick the first result, that is videolan.org because the index is in english. So they pick the second link that is mostly some page with malware.
f.e: if some german user search for vlc the first result should be www.videolan.org/vlc/index.de.html

Please give me some feedback, if this is not clear enough.

Hi
I have updated both versions, it should be alphabetic now and changed to Select site language.
If we decide to use the native language names, we should put this string to transifex and
the translators should translate it to their native name but we must be careful with the right
code pages. I still remember the mess with the NSIS setup in the last vlc version!

So please have a look and give me some feedback:

Thanks!

ah yes, i'm sorry ;-)

For the switch itself, i think it's easiest to list languages alphabetically and by native name (if possible). That way, Dutch people will look for the N (Nederlands).
