Hi Moushira,
0. I can't speak to the blurriness of the text, does it look blurry in
that section only?
1. Thanks for pointing out the Russian text bug
<https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19492365/screenshots/Screen%20Shot%202016-03-09%20at%208.53.29%20PM.png>.
This issue is occurs because the cyrylic font on ubuntu seems to be
slightly wider than on other operating systems. We hope our up-coming
A/B test
<https://people.wikimedia.org/~jdrewniak/localizedtoplinks/index.html#language-detection-a>
will make this a none-issue though :)
2. We have plans to disable the 'find a language' feature since it has
been broken for quite a while and nobody seemed to notice, but we will
replace it with something better eventually.
3. We have localization on our road-map, but there is a lot of work to
be done server/infrastructure-wise to make that a possibility.
4. I'm not sure I understand the concern with using fair-use images (to
be fair I don't know the slightest thing about what is and isn't fair-use).
For the search-suggestions we use the thumbnail image associated with the
wikipedia article, just like on mobile web <https://en.m.wikipedia.org>,
if the thumbnail is violating copyright, then it's probably as issue with
the article content, no?
Thanks,
Jan

For clarity, this is for Firefox 44.0 on Ubuntu! :)
Thanks!
