Hmm... even though my browser's primary language is
set for Esperanto I get a message in German first
(that's one of my secondary browser languages). 
Strange that there's a link to Frisian there though. 
:)

I don't like this portal page.  I was thinking maybe
we could set it that if a browser's primary language
is English, it would instantly go to the English
Wikipedia, and if not, it would go to a language
selection page like http://sources.wikipedia.org/
