  Thank you, @Nikki, I was not aware that this functionality already existed, 
and we just need to switch it on. This is great news! \o/

Nikki added a comment.


  To let people who aren't logged in change the language, set 
`$wgULSAnonCanChangeLanguage` to true.
  To enable language detection, set `$wgULSLanguageDetection` to true.
  
  If you change the former but not the latter, it will default to English but 
people who aren't logged in will be able to change the language manually. If 
you change the latter but not the former, it will default to the browser 
language and people who aren't logged in won't be able to change it manually.
  
  They're both currently disabled in wmf-config/CommonSettings.php 

 in the operations-mediawiki-config repo for performance reasons. Doing that is 
understandable for the monolingual wikis, where using the wiki language as the 
interface language is a reasonable assumption, but I really think it should be 
changed for (supposedly) multilingual wikis.
  
  According to the Pageviews Analysis tool, Commons and Wikidata are only a 
tiny amount of the traffic compared to the biggest Wikipedias (link 
)
 and Wikidata has more than the rest of the multilingual wikis I could think of 
combined (link 
).
  
  Commons has had a script to allow changing the interface language for many 
years. It adds a banner to the page suggesting a language to switch the 
interface to, adds a dropdown menu to the sidebar and links from other projects 
often include the `uselang` parameter by default. I've been seriously 
considering adding that script to Wikidata as well for a while now. It would be 
much better if it could be done without using a hacky script like that though, 
and if it hasn't been causing problems on Commons after all this time, is there 
a reason why we can't change those settings for multilingual wikis?

  I strongly suggest using the `Accept-Language` header. I expect this to cover 
~100% of users/browsers, and that's how this is intended to be used. Also, I do 
not want my UI to suddenly be in Icelandic just because I'm quickly looking 
something up while being on vacation in Iceland.

TASK DESCRIPTION
  **User story:** 
  As a not-logged-in user,  
  I want to see the Wikidata UI in the language specified in my browser,   
  in order to understand the UI.

  It would be better if the browser settings (Accept-Language) and/or 
geolocation would be considered.

  **Open questions:**
  
  **Community communication:**
