ÏÂÔØ below Download, in python.org site menu

[Alex Willmer]

On the English version of http://python.org I'm seeing ÏÂÔØ as a menu
item between Download and Community. AFAICT it's Simplified Chinese
for 'download'. Is it's appearance intentional, or a leak through from
a translation of the entire page?

Regards, Alex

PS Tested with 10.0.648.114 (75702) and Firefox 3.6.14 on Ubuntu 10.10/
en_GB locale.

It's intentional. Notice that it goes to a different URL than the
English download link. Chinese readers will know when to use it.

Which is a synonym for the English download link (/getit is /download at
present)
Perhaps a translated page is planned?

Chinese readers will know when to use it.

Why a special link just for Chinese and not several other languages?

No, translation is not the motivation at all.

Because only Chinese users may have to bypass URL filters that
selectively censor content from python.org. Let's see how long
censors need to pick up this discussion and ban more of Python
across the Great Firewall :-(
