I don't know if the language names need "spicing up", but if you insist,
I guess you can look at introducing some kind of button style for the
language links, ideally matching our website looks (other parts of the
documentation follow our websites visual style as well).
I acknowledge it's a common thing to use flags to represent languages,
but IMO, it's bad practice.

The language names are present below the flags and just having their
names on a blank page doesn't look appealing. Any thoughts of how to
spice it up if we were to only use the language names.
It is quite common for flags to be used as language representatives,
like for example in the keyboard layouts panel plugin as alternative
for language name abbreviations.

My suggestion is to use the language names as they are
representative of languages. Or in other words, languages do not
have any sensible representative images, so I would not use any.

So what would be your suggestion and an image related to languages?

Please, no flags for languages, as they are not representative.

Hi Team,
Here is my idea of what the docs homepage could look like,
in two variations.

Hi Team,
We had the meeting yesterday which Sean, Bernardo,
Stephen, and I attended, where we discussed our plans to
improve the documentation. Various meeting minutes were
put into the main google doc[1] and we plan to meet once
a week to discuss things to keep the pace of work going
forward. Each week we'll be working on a single docs
page/chapter, in a google doc I prepare, so that we all
have a central place to collaborate on its improvement,
and can also reach out to the community to contribute
to. At each meeting we'll review the page's edits and
finalize it and then it will be copied over to the git repo.
Sean will be investigating various options to make it
easier for contributors to help keep the docs up to
date. A telegram group[2] has been created for those
that want to be involved and we can bridge it with a
#xubuntu-docs irc channel if there are those wanting it.
So for this week, we'll be improving the main
documentation homepage[3] in this google doc[4]. During
the meeting we agreed upon these changes
* As this page is not translated, the useful parts of
the contents of this page will move to the Table of
Contents (ToC) page, so that it can be translated.
* The page would become just a language selector which
leads to the translated ToC page.
People can suggest ideas of how this language selector
page can look in the google doc[4] or on the mailing list.
Regards,
Yousuf
