Hints
To use a world map for changing yoursite.com's language at any of yourwebsite.com's pages doesn't look that navigatable because the image has to be big enough to match the coordinates of each of yoursite.com's languages and some of them could have 'too' small area coordenates in a world view. It could be used comfortably, as a yoursite.com/index.html (ex: at http://wikipedia.org or at http://osgeo.org )
World Continents' Division
-Save the Eckert.JPG(above) image - Upload it to yourwebsite.com/subdirectory - Paste these coordenates in a yourwebsite.com/subdirectory/index.html - Modify the urls
