--- Comment #2 from Hay Kranen <[email protected]> ---
+1 for this feature. This is actually one of the very few things i miss from
the honourable old Wikiamo (iOS) app. I'm from the Netherlands and i switch
between the Dutch and the English language editions multiple times per day.
It's very frustrating to have such a long interaction path to switch between
multiple languages.

On the Wikiamo app (screenshots attached as an example) the path to change the
language is:

1) Open up search
2) Tap the language shortcode next to the search field
3) Select another language

Note that the current search query is not deleted and is repeated in the new
language.

On the Wikipedia app it's:

1) Open up the 'W'
2) Select 'MORE'
3) Select 'Search <language> Wikipedia'
4) Select another language

That doesn't seem a lot longer (one step), but in my experience you usually
want to switch languages because you're searching for something, and in that
case the path is *a lot* longer. Given that you have the search panel open:

1) Hit 'Cancel'
2) Hit 'W'
3) Select 'Search <language> Wikipedia'
4) Select another language
5) Hit the search button again

In the Wikiamo app it's only two steps (Hit language code --> Select language)
instead of five.
