New description:

 The support portal should detect the browser locale and then automatically
 serve the language page of that locale.

 Note: This is probably an enhancement ticket and warrants further
 discussion, including how to do this.

Comment (by arma):

 We probably would want to serve the right language automatically, not to
 do any redirects. Updating the ticket to reflect that.

 Also, I know translations is a topic that many people have opinions about,
 and especially about the user-side experience for them. So if you -- the
 one doing this ticket -- have a better way to let the user's browser
 negotiate a language with the webserver, that sounds good to me too.
