Ubuntu webiste not easily accessible in different languages

[Ingo Gerth]

Hello,

I have found a major "bug" that might prevent a large group of people from choosing Ubuntu as their preferred OS.
If you go to the Ubuntu website (http://www.ubuntu.com/), it is by standard displayed in English. There seems to be no (easy?) way to change the language.

It is odd, that Ubuntu states one of its major goals was "that software tools should be usable by people in their local language", but its main website is (apparently) not accessible in a language other than English at all.

It is possible that I could simply not find the correct section on the site that makes it possible to change the language. In this case, this would still be a major issue, since it should be as easy as possible to change the language.

Is the endeavour of translating the website already taken into consideration?
I think it would be the best to have it done until one of the next releases, preferably 8.10 of course.
Personally, I would help doing it.

Hi, for the moment this won't change, though we're working on plans to help users find localized content.

5 years later.., is there still no time for this?

Javier, great you brought this up again. In my opinion there is till a pressing need for localized Ubuntu and Canonical websites. Is there any way we can gain more attention for this?
