Seems reasonable for logged in users to opt in for languages they are going to actually use, but what about anonnomous users? Perhaps it could be a hidden field with an Ajax(/some fallback) control that only loads the other languages when the user asks for them, which would probably be seldom. Finally, we could we ask them if they want to use that language as thier default from now on with a little checkbox, reducing annoyance and also number of requests for the whole list by keeping state information.
These features would also be useful for commons afaik. - Trevor Sent from my iPod On Mar 23, 2009, at 5:10 AM, [email protected] wrote: > Nice to have all the world's alphabets at one's fingertips right there > on the (www.mediawiki.org) edit page.
