Hi Moushira,

0. I can't speak to the blurriness of the text, does it look blurry in that
section only?
1. Thanks for pointing out the Russian text bug
<https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19492365/screenshots/Screen%20Shot%202016-03-09%20at%208.53.29%20PM.png>.
This issue is occurs because the cyrylic font on ubuntu seems to be
slightly wider than on other operating systems. We hope our up-coming A/B
test
<https://people.wikimedia.org/~jdrewniak/localizedtoplinks/index.html#language-detection-a>
will make this a none-issue though :)
2. We have plans to disable the 'find a language' feature since it has been
broken for quite a while and nobody seemed to notice, but we will replace
it with something better eventually.
3. We have localization on our road-map, but there is a lot of work to be
done server/infrastructure-wise to make that a possibility.
4. I'm not sure I understand the concern with using fair-use images (to be
fair I don't know the slightest thing about what is and isn't fair-use).
For the search-suggestions we use the thumbnail image associated with the
wikipedia article, just like on mobile web <https://en.m.wikipedia.org>, if
the thumbnail is violating copyright, then it's probably as issue with the
article content, no?

Thanks,
Jan
