Actually, I thought this would come up so I provided the code as a
comment in the page.  Anyway, here it is.

<a href="index.ja.html" title="Japanese"

# you'll notice I changed the name of the file from ...jp... to ...ja...

# "ja" refers to the Japanese language...hmmm, learn something new everyday.
