I was talking about the main site actually: the page
http://www.openoffice.org/index.html to be specific. Clicking on "I want
to download" makes the download panel visible, and content depends on
the browser-supplied language information too: for instance, I get the
(Bouncer) link to download the Italian version.

So I was talking about localized versions, not localized websites: our
figures show that 30% of Italian users still download from the
aforementioned page instead of using our native-lang web site.

What you should make sure is that http://www.openoffice.org/index.html
will never propose Bouncer links to inexistent versions (for instance,
the Italian version for Windows only comes with JRE). This means:
1) Either you activate the "smart" Java detection for en-US builds only
   and extend it only to those native-lang projects who know this won't
   break their downloads...
2) Or you find a way to query Bouncer about available builds in a
   certain language.
Or maybe some other solution, but I can't think of any other way to
properly handle this without too much manual work.
