Hi,
After the Narayam extension has been replaced by ULS, even regular users are
finding it difficult to locate the typing tool and it is definitely not
intuitive for a new comer.
The left side panel is for navigation and a setting should not be clubbed
there. Users usually look for settings in the top right corner of a site. At
least it should be near the preferences link in the header.
The icon gives no clue about its use unless it is clicked and seen. The icon
should be clearly labelled as "Language / typing / font settings".
I read elsewhere that this extension has been rolled out after user testing and
it works for the developer.
But the language communities that use this tool never had a chance to test,
there was no beta rollout, there was no announcement or request for feedback.
The tool might have worked as such for the commons community but shifting the
location for other communities has made it confusing.
Why can't the icon be moved to the top for all languages as you do in Commons?
