https://nodejs.org/en/download
Description of the problem
The nice download page for Node.js requires a language code in the URL (https://nodejs.org/en/download/ instead of https://nodejs.org/download/). For the purposes of linking to this page from elsewhere on the internet, it would be great to have that neutral version of the URL that redirects to the page language based on the user's browser settings (like how https://developer.mozilla.org redirects to https://developer.mozilla.org/de for German readers.
