Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 Hello! :) This sounds closely related to the situation with the TBB user
 manual. Currently we have a link to the user manual in the Tor Browser
 start page (about:tor) localized to the Tor Browser locale. I believe that
 mechanism is *independent* of whether the user chooses to spoof their
 locale to en-US. That might be something we should change -- I don't know.
 But if we use arma's suggested mechanism via Apache, then it would very
 easy link to a language-neutral URL in Tor Browser and have the `Accept-
 Language` header (spoofed or unspoofed) take care of the locale.

 Also, we hide the user manual link to the Tor Browser manual when the
 right locale isn't available. But it would be easy to change this to an
 en-US fallback.

 It also occurred to me today (given other discussions) that we could
 somehow merge the user manual and support portal. They serve very similar
 purposes, of explaining how to use Tor to users. So maybe that means we
 would need just one link instead of two. (By "merging" only I mean have
 the manual and support FAQ on the same website, not changing the content
 of either).

 But any arrangement is possible of course. :)
