Sure - http://test.flossmanuals.net/TEST_1/ has six language buttons,
but there are room for more. See the first 32 lines of the HTML for the
suggested implementation. I think you'll agree it's cleaner and more
extensible to use the external CSS file to position rows of individual
buttons than to use a static imagemap.

I've also re-created the Finnish buttons for read/write/remix/about as
the old ones were not anti-aliased.

Cheers!

Daniel
