[MPlayer-DOCS] translating language names

The 'alt' texts for language flags linking to homepage translations,
shouldn't. IMHO, be translated. Motivation is simple: Suppose I have
a text browser (or use a slow modem and disable graphics), and somehow
end up on page in a strange language. Now if I have alt texts in English
I can select either English or my language. But if the tags are
translated I have no idea (well, no idea is too much, but you get the
picture) what should I select to end on something I can understand.
Everyone can be made to learn how their language is named in English.
But having to learn half a dozen other languages as well is not so
simple.
