Language options is really extremely important for
Wikimedia projects
especially for Wikipedia. But I have a little suggestion is to add a banner
at top of the articles like wikivoyage looks like, it helps the user to
have a first image of the country or person or thing... Also, according to
,
User:Guy Macon proposed a new design of the main page, I personally
strongly oppose to this design, how do you guys think of?

Zooming shows they use Helvetica.

There is no evidence all serif fonts are worse for dyslexics.
Some some serif fonts perform adequately.
You can't throw away all serif fonts just because some perform poorly,
unfortunately it's not that simple.

Because they have no constraints, they could have done so much better!
