Can I suggest what many other sites have done?
ok i thought so

A map of the world, click on a certain region, it takes you to whatever
language is spoken there...

and below the map, text links to each language
like this:

-------------------------
|
|         MAP
|
-------------------------
[Espanol|English|Deutch|Francais.........]


_NO TEXT_ Except for the language Links.. this takes you to an introduction
page in your language and yadda yadda yadda or wherever you want it to take
you

any one have any objections
