[HOT] openstreetmap.org by language

[Pete Masters]

Nice, thanks guys...

It's a shame there is not a way to keep the language selection within
openstreetmap.org as sending non-OSM peeps to multiple websites will cause
confusion... I know this isn't the place for that discussion and I have
seen there are a number of issues relating to this on the openstreetmap
github...

Much appreciated,

Pete
