Not interesting for users :/

I'd use locales (which are sometimes be >4-char, so no necessarily 2-char) so you can add them as a config switch, see below.

I'll have a look at it, which docs you mean exactly?
tech/TODO:- merge tech/vop.txt and tech/libavc-options.txt into the man page
<al3x> the tech/ contains for example swscaler_filters.txt, lavc-options.txt and other interesting docs

I would create another switch, like --docs-locale=en,hu,de,fr; which would install english, hungrian, german and french html help.

I would suggest creating new subdirs in DOCS/ :
DOCS/html
DOCS/html/en, for the english standard docs. I'd also suggest renaming documentation.html to index.html
DOCS/html/{fr,hu,de,....} for translated ones
DOCS/man, for the manpage (mplayer.1 now is in DOCS itself)
DOCS/tech (not to be installed, only for developers)
And move MAINTAINERS, TODO, wishlist to main directory and rename them to more standard names if needed (ChangeLog, AUTHORS, README are in main already).

(btw) And changing
$(INSTALL) -c -m 644 DOCS/mplayer.1 $(MANDIR)/man1/mplayer.1
into 
$(INSTALL) -c -m 644 DOCS/mplayer.1 $(MANDIR)/$(LANG)/man1/mplayer.1
Nico's idea :) see http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2002-December/013551.html

It should work just fine, maybe this line should be changed in debian/rules:
        $(MAKE) prefix=$(prefix)/usr BINDIR=$(prefix)/usr/bin CONFDIR=$(prefix)/etc/mplayer LIBDIR=$(prefix)/usr/lib DATADIR=$(prefix)/usr/share/mplayer  MANDIR=$(prefix)/usr/share/man  install
into
        $(MAKE) prefix=$(prefix)/usr BINDIR=$(prefix)/usr/bin CONFDIR=$(prefix)/etc/mplayer LIBDIR=$(prefix)/usr/lib DATADIR=$(prefix)/usr/share/mplayer  DOCSDIR=($prefix)/doc/mplayer MANDIR=$(prefix)/usr/share/man  install
