--- Comment #6 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #5) > I dont find any reason for not giving a turn off option in the preferences > section. Well, we really want to avoid user preferences bloat. Every additional user preference has a somewhat significant cost (in terms of interface clutter, technical debt, etc.). That said, the default behavior here seems a bit strange. For example, on Meta-Wiki, I have "en" set as my user interface language and yet I still see this somewhat annoying drop-down next to the edit summary input and the search input. As someone who has absolutely no need for a different input method (my keyboard works just fine), I don't see why I'm being presented with such a drop-down menu. Something seems amiss here. Generally, UniversalLanguageSelector's scope and purpose is unclear to me. As someone who writes and reads in English, I have no need for this drop-down menu or the "english" link in the personal tools section. It'd be nice to not add clutter to the interface for users like me. It also seems that UniversalLanguageSelector's scope has increased from being a universal language selector to also providing display preferences (e.g., I can select "OpenDyslexic" as my display font via ULS). It doesn't seem like a great idea to mix purposes like this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
