[Targnum-translating] language links

[the duke]

And two of them make no language links.
so we cannot trust a current cross-translation-teams standard, but we 
can trust the future UTF-8 standard which is also supported by Luis who 
coordinates the translations. making our current english order the best 
if we want to save us the job of reordering the links on all of the 
pages when the future standard takes place.

actually by looking at other pages you can see that european languages - 
with a latin character set - set their own order, while the japanese and 
chinese translations maintained the original order, korean dutch greek 
thai an hungarian left the english names (the reasons for this are 
clear, but in our discussions me and Dov realised that the links are 
meant for hebrew readers who want to see another languages), and the 
russians didn't even make language links....
and so the conclusion is that languages with a non-latin character set 
kept the english order, some of them even with the english characters.
this, in addition to the UTF-8 future standard makes a strong argument 
not contradicted by your examples.

so to me the english order still seems the right one, but again, you are 
most welcome to bring it up on the translation mailing list

salut!
