Bug Description

When an average user opens ubuntu.com chances are that it belong to the *73%* of users who don't browse Internet in English, according to Wikipedia the number of Internet users which speak English as of 31 May 2011 is *27%*.

   [+] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:InternetUsersByLanguagePieChart.svg

Ubuntu is a free OS which has always embraced l10n efforts, according to:

   [+] http://people.ubuntu.com/~dpm/ubuntu-10.04-translation-stats.html

Ubuntu has been translated to at least 218 languages. Not only programs but developer documentation has been translated:

   [+] http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/tools/packaging/

Have guides in English, Spanish, Russian and Portuguese.

Ubuntu.com, the main site of the Ubuntu project don't need to be any different but an example of the global community which uses and contributes to Ubuntu. I suggest that depending of the user agent ubuntu.com displays a localized version of itself, strings can be exported to launchpad and get translated by the numerous community translators.
