--- Comment #5 from Tilman Bayer <tba...@wikimedia.org> ---
Including the <languages /> bar by default, and somehow integrating it with the
"This page is a translated version of..." message sound like reasonable ideas.
However, I fail to see what is so horrible about listing the available
translations on top; at least for the desktop version. This seems to be a
pretty standard practice elsewhere, such as on http://blog.flickr.net/ or on
Global Voices, one of the most advanced and successful multilingual blogging
platforms (see e.g.
http://globalvoicesonline.org/2013/08/26/wikipedia-in-guarani/ , they even list
the translated title in addition to the language name for each translation).
It's also the approach we are taking in the redesigned version of the Wikimedia
blog that is going to launch soon, using a version of the WPML multilingual
Wordpress plugin. (Admittedly I can't dispute the above statement that the
current layout "disrupts the reading all the time" on the bug submitter's "pet
project" because I don't know what that pet project is.)
And the purpose of that language list is not to "suggest that this is a
multilingual site" in some vague sense, but specifically to inform the reader
about the availability or non-availability of translations in particular
languages for the page they are looking at.
