I've fixed the UI in the Options, and made a newer release ( https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/gpoogepkjnjfmpijnpaocncdjbedaeeo/ ).
Feedback? In particular, I've listed 20 Indic languages as buttons on the options page, and I don't have enough knowledge to check if they are all correct! So if someone could check, I'd be grateful :) Suggestions? What should I prioritize next? I'll monitor this thread, or you can file issues (https://github.com/yuvipanda/yenWikipedia/issues).
