TT, A passing thought on languages. Perhaps a version of the excise tool that replaces selected text with a transclusion and using a template. Lets say English is the authors primary language. *ie; This is a statement in English* becomes {{thestatement||multi-language}} - What actually

Well, if choosing language is based on language plugins, then you're kind of stuck. Unless you develop additional language plugins? Going with Télumire's idea, you can just keep adding language options to that drop-down-selection box as needed. This is great if you intend on just picture

G'day TT, If adding language plugins and using TW's language button make for an alright solution, then checking the value of $:/language makes for an easy way to set context based on currently selected language. It should be easy enough to show the language button anywhere you need it for
