DOC: Transfer older release and languange Wiki documentation
Transfer Wiki documentation from https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/FAQ/General#Where_can_I_download_Slicer.3F about installing older releases and languages. Reword some passages for the sake of clearliness, and update some URLs that point to content that no longer dwells in the Wiki.

<p class="">Older releases can be obtained by using the offset parameter in the download page. For example, download page from 7 days ago:</p>
217+
<pre>http://download.slicer.org/?offset=-7</pre>
218+
219+
<p class="">To get a direct download link of previous revision on a selected operating system:</p>
220+
<pre>http://download.slicer.org/download?os=macosx&stability=any&offset=-1</pre>
221+
222+
<p>
223+
Always include these parameters:
224+
</p>
225+
<table class="table">
226+
<tbody>
227+
<tr>
228+
<td><code>stability</code></td>
229+
<td>The stability of the version. It can be one of <code>release</code>, <code>nightly</code>, or <code>any</code></td>
230+
</tr>
231+
<tr>
232+
<td><code>os</code></td>
233+
<td>The operating system. It can be one of <code>linux</code></td>, <code>macosx</code>, or <code>win</code>
234+
</tr>
235+
</tbody>
236+

237+

<table class="table">

<tbody>
242+
<tr>
243+
<td><code>date</code></td>
244+
<td>Revision built before or on the date, e.g. <code>date=2015-01-01</code></td>
245+
</tr>
246+
<tr>
247+
<td><code>checkout-date</code></td>
248+
<td>A checkout date, e.g. <code>checkout-date=2015-02-01</code></td>
249+
</tr>
250+
<tr>
251+
<td><code>revision</code></td>
252+
<td>The exact revision number, e.g. <code>revision=27000</code></td>
253+
</tr>
254+
<tr>
255+
<td><code>closest-revision</code></td>
256+
<td>A revision less than of equal, e.g. <code>closest-revision=26000</code></td>
257+
</tr>
258+
<tr>
259+
<td><code>version</code></td>
260+
<td>The latest revision of a branch, e.g. <code>version=4.3</code></td>
261+
</tr>
262+
</tbody>
263+
</table>
264+
265+
<p class="">Any of these queries can be combined with the offset param, which will step forward or backward a given number of revisions. So, <code>stability=release&version=4.5.0&offset=-1</tr></code> should give the revision just before the first <code>4.5</code> release.</p>

<p class=""><strong>Does Slicer work for non-English computing?</strong></p>
293+
<p class="">Not yet: Slicer uses US English conventions. Specifically this means that directory paths should use ASCII characters only. However, there is some <a href="https://discourse.slicer.org/t/slicer-internationalization/579>discussion</a>and <a href="https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/wiki/I18N>planning</a> about internationalization that can be useful in order to allow this in Slicer.</p>
