Comment:

 Making a button in the current system is a tiny bit tricky.

 If we wanted little flags for each language, rather than the locale
 identifiers, it would likely need to be done by hand, or with some rather
 complicated parameter passing and embedded Mako template functions inside
 the HTML templates in `lib/bridgedb/templates`. I'm inclined to say "NO"
 to this, because I estimate the amount of work required to be quite high
 for very little usability benefit. If you need a different language, you
 should be setting that in your browser's settings and BridgeDB will detect
 it automatically.

 I'm not going to implement the button. If someone else wants to do it,
 great! Reopen this ticket.
