We talked about the several options here and decided we didn't want to modify the existing ULS. The assumption on the long term is the new ULS will have this feature and show on pages without other languages. We've thus settled on doing one of two things: (1) Have 2 links in the sidebar for legacy and modern Vector In the Wikibase extension we'll add an additional link to the sidebar for Vector "Add links to other languages" which would behave identically to the existing "Add links" link. In Vector we'll add a style to make sure only one of those is shown at a time. This may require some changes to the wire up JavaScript to make sure both buttons are functionally showing the dialog. For this option we'd need some help from WMDE as nobody in the team has a working Wikibase install and we noted that this would be a big time suck for us to get up and running and familiar with the project. On the longer term we imagine this link might be in the sidebar as well as the ULS dialog so this would prepare for that eventuality. (2) Add JavaScript to modern Vector which puts the link in the sidebar (hack) We (reading web) are happy to take on some technical debt and using a JavaScript hack move the existing link to the toolbox menu. We'd change our logic to hide the language button via CSS. This hack would exist until the language team has done their bit and WMDE will not need to be involved. The downside of this approach is that the link will not show for any users not running JavaScript but we determined this to be a small number of impacted user. @Lydia_Pintscher which of these options is preferable to you? Do WMDE want to be involved in the solution or not?
