Sorry but we don't provide the HTML code for choosing between
multiple locale SWFs. There's two ways that I can think of to do
this:



1. Automatically serve up a SWF based on the browser locale
by using navigator.language (userLanguage in IE) in JavaScript and
redirecting to the given SWF.



2. Present a list of choices to the user for locales to use.
This is preferred be some, since you can never know whether the
browser locale is the right locale for the person using the
browser. Just provide a list in HTML that the user can click on. A
good enchancement would be to be able store the locale information
in a cookie if the user requested it.



In the future, we should hopefully support runtime locales,
which would not require separate main SWFs.
