Actually, it's like:

1. Open mobile site on mobile browser (no problem)
2. Try to open interlanguage links in "read in another language" button:

These interlanguage links, are NOT m.wikipedia's, but just normal desktop
links. It's SUPPOSED to be re-directed to mobile version, but in practice, it's
sometimes not: when you ever visited desktop version(s) once, this redirection
will never work again- (it's bug 66888) you have to clear your cookie to make
it work.

Despite the existence of bug 66888, this implementation (rely on redirection)
itself is questionable. Some developers commented above said "you should avoid
using hard link blabla", but we already use hard mobile link for interlinks
everywhere so this statement makes little sense for me.

Some off-topic trash talk:

the mobile experience for me (who often visiting Chinese Wikipedia along with
English version) is already very poor due to bug 51753: search something on
Google, find a Chinese wikipedia article, open it: it's desktop version! Search
something on Google again, find a English wikipedia article and open it
flawlessly- change to Chinese version- desktop version again!

You ask me why not just using the app? Well, actually the app (of android)
doesn't support language variants at all.
