Description

English language is best! but not all people known it well, many people afraid no-native language sites, so if they see in matrix.to not his language - they will not want to translate or understand what is it.

matrix.to website have not so much strings, so will be good to translate it into popular languages (at first - via google translate, and after - correct via community).

And create script for auto-detect browser language when visiting site and show text in user native language. Also add language switcher combobox.
