?  Look again.  When I get to http://www.wikipedia.org/ and I'm logged out,
I see, very large and near the top: Danish, German, Esperanto, Spanish, French,
Dutch, Polish, and Portuguese.

It seems very prominent to me already.  It seems sensible to me that
those links should be translated to Espanol, Deutsche, etc.  (But not
by me, since I don't even know what "French" is in French.  Francais?)

But they seem plenty prominent enough.
