Re: UDHR in Unicode: 400 translations in text form!

I don't mean to be critical, but I find the UDHR page is really hard to use.

Observed behavior:

I click on the map. I get circles. I click on a circle and get more
circles. I click again and get more circles. Keep clicking and I get weird
image icons with letters. I click on one and I get a popup with mysterious
sh X C T H OHCHR. I click on a language name and get a description of the
language. I hit back and need to go through the entire circle thing again.
I click on sh and get "Status: no known problems". I hit back and go
through the circle thing again. I click on X and get an XML file. I do the
back and circle thing again. I click C and get a list of Unicode
characters. I click on the list of tables and get the same thing, except
without the multiple layers of circles. After several minutes of clicking,
I haven't seen any translations.

Expected behavior:

I click on the map and see a translation of the UDHR into an interesting
language with a cool font.
