If this is fine with you guys, here's a change request to add redirects
for those two to the docs.fp.o index page where visitors can choose
their language and version of the document they want.

Alternatively, we can update all links to point at eg.
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f12/en-US/html/ and mark
those as translatable, which would be a late break of the string freeze,
but still a pretty small one (the effect would be that all website links
would point to the English doc until translators update them to point to
their specific language's URL).
Thanks,
Ricky
