1. Maybe
language selection menu would contain native language names. (or
like NativeName (EngName), ex. suomi (Finnish))
This is important, because if someone picks the wrong language by
mistake, then all the names are written in that language! If you pick
Hebrew, by mistake, then to go back to English, you'll have to decide
whether it's אנגלית, עברית or פינית. It's not a feature, it's a bug.
I agree with this and have always hated it, but I'm not sure if this
is possible in LimeSurvey.
2. Maybe
automatically language selection based on browser settings?
... That, or the language of the project from which the respondent came.
That's how it will be setup. They will arrive at the translation
request through the CentralNotice and the CN will pass their interface
language.

I'm sorry
for bringing this up at such a late point, but I *strongly*
urge you to make questions regarding personal information optional.
Currently information like age, level of education, enrollment in in
school or university, employment, having children, nationality and
gender are *required* in order to go on with the survey.
I can absolutely guarantee for German Wikipedia that there will be an
outcry if users are forced to surrender their personal information in
order to participate. User will either boycott the survey or enter wrong
information, if they dislike it.
German Wikipedians are very keen on privacy and surveys like this one
have been boycotted in the past.
(Just making a tactical suggestion, I'm not saying that all those
concerns by the community are justified)
I completely agree. Most likely it is true for Wikipedians from all
cultures: some of us are very open, but many of us are very private.
These questions must not be required.
Can you please make a list of what questions you think fall under this
category? We've already made a few optional (as you must have seen),
but we need to know which ones.
