Adds a dropdown select-box on Googles result pages to change the language code (hl parameter).

The languages shown in the dropdown can be configured via the Greasemonkey Menu (see Screenshot #2) or by setting the list variable in the source to something else (for example: var list = ['en', 'de', 'fr']; ).
