Web Resources / Translated Sites

[Simon L. Nielsen]

Hello

When I worked at PR www/54713 I noticed that the links listed under "Web
Resources" on /support.html are rather inconsistent.  Some are
translations of www.FreeBSD.org, some are just links to www.FreeBSD.org
mirrors, and some are FreeBSD sites in "local languages".

I have tried to clean this up a bit, and just have link to the
translated versions on the front page using the two letter language
names.  AFAIR this was also suggested some time ago.

What does people say to the attached patch?  I know it's not a complete
solution, but I think it's much better than the current state.
