That would be cool, agreed. But it would put an extra premium on the
up-to-dateness of the translated pages. I think we can assume that
the Google translations are almost always in perfect sync!

Names such as "gretl_portugues.html" are rather verbose, yes. I'd be
happy to rename these files as "pt.html", "es.html" and so on. And
note that sf.net is an acceptable synonym for sourceforge.net, so
you'd have

gretl.sf.net/pt.html

This is good, but IMHO I think it would be better if we don't need to use
the "html" extension. Is it possible to change to gretl.sf.net/pt and put
the gretl.sf.net/br (as a simple mirror of the "pt" site)?

(and br.html could be a symlink to pt.html if you like). However,
I'm not going to buy gretl.com! (If someone else wants to, that's
fine by me.)

I really don't know the costs of a domain purchase, but I think we could
raise that money via donations ;-)

Another suggestion that I would like to make is to remove the Linux spe-
cific download options from the homepage by replacing it for a menu
where the user could choose the appropriate OS. Please take a look at
the attached PNG files where I illustrate this idea.

Best,
