About languages: we have up until now restricted those to all countries downloading 10% or more of one of the ISOs, but can certainly revisit that policy--maybe we should just include all.
Instead of restricting, I would prefer we included them all (if that is possible). We have 100% Swedish translation of our apps, but at the moment Swedish is missing from the google translation drop down menu. I also noted that Kazakhstan has quite a few downloads of MX-15.01_386.iso relative to others.

Just checked, and it works in Internet Explorer.

That makes sense as a policy change--we had to start somewhere--and not hard to implement.

Done. All 95 or so languages are now available for all pages of the website except the Bug page (want to test first), and I changed the code for the online Manual as well.

Will send the new code up with the Manual revision I am working on sporadically now.

This is an important test, because MX targets newcomers from Windows in particular.
MX-14 on a Via Eden 1GHz CPU thin client, 3GB RAM, Via VX800 chipset, Via Chrome9 HC GPU, 32GB M.2 SSD;
btrfs with @ and @home subvolumes for MX-14;
added @antiX and @antiXhome subvolumes and copied antix 13.1 base into them, adjusting Grub from MX-14.

Checked again that feature and it works (enough) in Catalan, too. The first option in the drop-down menu is the one matching to your locales.
But, as happen to most of the machine translations, the result sometimes is quite weird. Google is not an exception, others are worse. The perfect solution should be to translate all the manuals, provided you have enough spare time. But I think that when I should finish the translation of MX-15, MX-20 would be already issued.

This only shows the GREAT effort that Jerry, Gordon and other contributors put on this amazing tool. And yes, Siduction -as far I can remember- had a great documentation, but our community perhaps beats them on this side.

Many thanks, Jerry, Gordon and the team!
