(Get the code!)
Hi!
I definitely see where you are coming from here, and I'd love to help get this right. However, we are reluctant to put links to things that are not _directly_ connected with the Ubuntu project in the slideshow. First of all, that means translations conveying different meaning from source text, which can create a bit of a mess. And, if those links change, we're toast ;)
We have to remember that websites are (sadly) fallible, but ubuntu.com (being directly connected) has a life about as long as Ubuntu itself. Slightly less of an issue for Maverick, but it is a big one for any LTS especially.
The idea is that ubuntu.com/support can lead you to language-specific support and loco teams, so it's a nice overview to start with. It's also a link that somebody can write down, go to later and understand what it's all about.
I have always kind of assumed that ubuntu.com was in a good state with regards to localization. A website can detect that stuff really easily with the Accept-Language request header. I tried changing my preferred language in Firefox and start.ubuntu.com figured it out nicely, but ubuntu.com didn't change at all. Eek!
Personally, I think the better long-term approach would be if ubuntu.com did localization, at least for this section…
