Some NL sites have DLs, but most do not. Rob has listed the few that do many of which do have AOO versions. If none of the user's langs are available then there are several choices. (1) other.html. Their version isn't there. If they want AOO 3.4 in another language fine. Is that the first choice? (2) legacy/index.html. WIll this work if the most recent legacy is what they are looking for? If the language is missing from 3.4, I think it makes sense to write a special non-button text warning above that offers the legacy. "We are sorry but your language, XXXX, is not yet available in the current version. Click the <Legacy Button> to locate a version of OpenOffice.org 3.3 or earlier in your language."
