Localized download pages - with bundled language file download links

I live in China, where seemingly one of the largest Bittorrent user bases exists. However, nearly everyone here is using Bitcomet. Why? Because they can download it from a Chinese webpage that they are actually able to read and understand. They can open it in Chinese also, making it an intuitive choice.

However, uTorrent is SO much better. If we volunteer, can we make translated versions of the download page??? Sure the front page would be nice, but at least the download one... and it should only take a few minutes to do.

I'd recommend, that the download link on a translated download page be to a copy that already has the language pack built in. I understand the theme of uTorrent, "mu-torrent, or micro-torrent" is having a small package. But having a 264k package isn't important for foreign language users, though it is a triumph in Win32 api coding and built in executable compression. (well done!)

If you want, I can get the download page translated (by a pool of eager Americans and Chinese who are mutually bilingual English teachers, and work in the same office translating things). It would be great to have it in all the major languages of the world. But this would cover about 20% of the human population very quickly. Perhaps the translations forum could be used to solicit others?

That's nearly as incredible as the speed of your response. I'd be happy to help in anyway I can. Been lurking for ages and using utorrent as long. Really appreciate all the work you guys have put in to it. I'm a fan & advocate, and would love to contribute something back if I have the chance.

As far as having a version already bundled with the langpack, something can be arranged.

Also, my mistake, I only have the index page translated right now.

If you want to translate the download page, you can translate the text and I can make the page (use UTF-8 please).
