Hints
-Add your code/coordenates and specify if HTML, PHP, Python, etc..
-Placing the mouse in an area where there are 2 oficial languages, it should show you to select language1 or language2 in a 'sort of' pop up.
-All CMSs are multilingual and have its 'Select your Language' in their incorrect Dropdowns + Flags which could be subsituted by these kind of Languages Maps.
In the CMSs case, you can place this map as a Yoursite.com Center Block. I thought about to change the language of any page of the site through a world map and doesn't look that navigatable.
