Well, this may not be such an easy fix. There is some other content on that
page, which should be accessible somehow. And we always have a selected
language (based on the user's accept-language or the mirror's default
language), so automatic selection there without any indication that we have
manuals in other languages may not be a good idea.
Maybe it is doable for returning visitors (users having a last used language
remembered), even if their last used language is not what is selected for
display (overriden by their own setting).
But anyway, the other part of information on the docs page needs to be
accessible somehow (like links to downloads, which would be inaccessible
after your 'fix'). So this needs to be thought out.
