Hi! I'm not sure if the approach would be valid for yout scenario, but in case you consider implementing it in JavaScript (as a gadget), you may want to use mw.uls.getFrequentLanguageList() (as used here: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-interwiki-langlist.js#L-808 - it's a gadget for {{link-interwiki}} on plwiki).
Note that ULS is not available (or used not to be) in mobile version.

Hi folks, I'm trying to add a "translate" link to [[:ro:Template:Ill-wd]] (which indicates a subject by it's wikidata id) and I need to determine the original language. Is there a way to determine if the current user prefers/knows some languages except the wiki's own language? I know I can use the interface language, but for the vast majority of users that's identical to the content language. I vaguely remember that Content Translation asked be at some point about what languages it should use to provide suggestions, but I can't find that setting now. Does it still exist and is it available somehow from outside CX? Are there any other data sources I can use (and which don't ruin caching, either)? Thanks, Strainu
