Enhancement ; created a language select-page in HTML to manually select a language for visitors

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I could not select a different language without adding a addon to my
Firefox browser. However IE does not have such a plugin and thus it was
impossible to pick my local language.

To solve this problem I changed the BigBlueButton.html file in
/var/www/bigbluebutton/client/.

A user will first see a list of languages which he should select himself.
BBB will load the correct language afterwards.

BTW I changed the name of the file [BigBlueButton.html] with a little
workaround ; I use a http meta refresh to redirect the user to the file
[conference.html] which holds the original contents of [BigBlueButton.html]
and added css/html/javascript.

Cool Walter.  

We could look at adding this capability to the core of BigBlueButton in a way 
that the 
administrator could enable it on the server.

We'll look into it further.

It's just HTML so what doesn't work for you ? In which browsers did you test it 
?

In 0.71, there is now an optional language selector you can use to dynamically 
change the language
