I don't have high confidence that simply putting "downloads = yes" in the browser is going to be understood by players. I actually think adding downloads will end up with most servers having downloads without the player having any say.

Different from other games much of what is presented to the player is developed in a language that the player knows. Let's say 90% of what the player will see in the game is from the server they play on and that is presented in the server language, be it in English, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian or Polish. The other 10% are the messages in native English from SA-MP, such as connection message, client sa-mp, ban message or crash.

I wouldn't rule out translating these types of messages into the player's native language, but that's no problem for the community today. English is the almost universal language nowadays everyone knows a little bit either by music or by using the internet.

I have the same your opinion about the voting presented, he is not the best option but because of the lack of community resources in presenting you with a solution it was a good option. Could we create a topic in the area, put a poll and specify each option and see what happens?
