There's a chicken-and-egg problem involved.  We can't write the
paragraph containing the list of languages until all the finished
translations come in.  Once that happens, the added paragraph is
untranslated.  Get it?  :-)

In any case, this will cease to be a problem at some point in the near
future.  We will have an adaptive index function that will simply pick
up your locale from your browser using Javascript, and show the correct
translation automatically.
