First of all, thanks Hiroki for your great work on mirrors.
The only (little) issue with this approach is that english
alphabetical order is often different from localized alphabetical
order. Since mirror sites are taken sequentially and then translated
we end up with a pseudo-random ordered list (for example Hungary ->
Korea in Italian is Ungheria -> Corea).
