You can change the language of the Commons interface in your
preferences, instead of using the ?uselang= parameter all the time.
As other peoples correctly pointed out, it is not convenient to select
the language manually in user's options (especially for anonymous, who
should not have options). One expects his smaller wiki language code to
be seamlessly "copied" to commons (perhaps by passing uselang then
making it persistent via the cookie). It can be done for anonymous, too.
If that would hugely increase squid servers load, then perhaps only few
selected namespaces (NS_SPECIAL's, Commons: whatever the code is) will
use such cookie, at least.
This page uses links "This project page in other languages:" at the top
to swich uselang. It can be done automatically.
