Why don't you add more branches in the switch-case statement?

switch (navigator.language.substr(0, 2)) {
  case "en" :
    document.writeln("Hello.");
    break;
  case "de" :
    document.writeln("Guten Tag.");
    break;
  case "fr" :
    document.writeln("Bonjour.");
    break;
  case "es" :
    document.writeln("Hola!");
    break;
  case "pt" :
    document.writeln("Boa tarde.");
    break;
  case "ru" :
    document.writeln("Здравствуйте!");
    break;
  case "ja" :
    document.writeln("こんにちは.");
    break;
}
