Could the extension can, or be tweaked to, help with our other
multilingual
content?

LS is already deprecated and should be killed at least for templates
(multichill told me very few if any still use it, right?);
Well, it has more than 3.7 millions transclusions… See also <

Just asking: would it play nicely with our AnonymousI18N script?
<https://commons.wikimedia.**org/wiki/MediaWiki:**AnonymousI18N.js<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:AnonymousI18N.js>
If it's what I remember, that
would be superseded.
AFAIK, AnonymousI18N handles the following :
* Language selection
→ Handled − that is kind of the purpose of the Universal Language
*Selector* right ? ;-)
* Language suggestion, based on « data from cookie, referal url & browser
settings »
"referal" means that AnonymousI18N can detect that your are coming from
it.wikipedia.org, your interface should be in Italian
→ What about ULS ?
* Language “uselang” persistency, regardless of the previous
Meaning, if landing on Commons from a URL with ?uselang=fr (obviously from
templates on projects, but also from links everywhere [people like me who
always tweet/write links with a uselang ;-)]), the ?uselang=fr is set for
all outbound links, meaning language persistency.
→ ULS does not appear to do that from my test on TranslateWiki.
(Arriving from <https://translatewiki.net/?uselang=it>, interface in
Italian ; clicking a link, interface in French)
