[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Language switcher on the homepage (#1115)

[AntMadeira]

I just want to explain a bit better why this is a problem.
OSM relies a great deal on the translation and localization of its texts, presets, core editor, tutorial and help so that newcomers can contact directly with the particularities of each language and/or region.
The problem is many people nowadays use browsers in English, be it for professional reasons or simply because they prefer it that way. If OSM language is set automatically to the browser's language, the new mappers don't have a way to change the language and if they use iD or the tutorial, they see it in English and loose all the benefits of having OSM translated in their language.

This is a huge, huge let down for non-English communities and newcomers.
Hope this can clarify why this is such an important feature.
