>> There is still some unsolved problems. The language Wikipedias don't have
>> the option for choosing the languages unlike Meta or commons. That'd be a
>> useful feature especially for the Indic language wikipedias.
>> Ctrl+M is not working for the first time. It works only after one particular
>> language is selected.
