Description:
------------
the php web site has a problem.
http://us.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.multiple.php
all over PHP site it says it is in Brazilian Portugese, yet the language code is en (English).  My machine is US English.  go figure.  in the documentation selection boxes it does not list English as a language, but it lists Brazilian Portugese.  I will bet that most people don't know what Brazilian Portugese is.  but they know what English is.  and that's what this language is in despite the title.
please fix.

Test script:
---------------
install US English version of windows.
http://us.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.multiple.php
look at language dropdown box

Expected result:
----------------
the word English for en language code on web site anywhere language is mentioned

Actual result:
--------------
I find the words Brazilian Portugese all over web site anywhere language is mentioned.

That drop down is to the view the page in another language... note the little text 
next to it "view this page in". If you change it to Brazilian Portugese and then 
click the drop down again, you'll notice you can view the page in English.

that is not how most web sites work.  
most web sites work by having a VERY SIMPLE dropdown listbox that shows you what language is selected and allows you to select a different language.

at least knowing what language you are in would be helpful for people who work with multiple languages if you are not going to change the methodology.

the way things are now is causing confusion with more than one person.

We'll see if we can make it more clear by having the current language selected in 
the drop instead. I think the context makes it clear but others have agreed that a 
user might expect the current language selected instead.

It doesn't say so. It just allows you to switch the language.
