How would you select out of the possible 10.000

an application where all these languages are there to be used like in
http://wiktionaryz.org ?
As I said, the site administrator(s) would select the language based
on the most popular languages their visitors use. The solution is
*not* optimal for sites which are massively multilingual, i.e. Commons
might cope, WiktionaryZ might not. Hence the "I may improve this" bit.

Hoi,
The English Wikipedia allows for people to use their user interface. I
wonder how many people on the en.wikipedia have a user interface that is
not English.. also having an understandable User Interface helps when
you try to understand an unfamiliar language.. The question therefore is
obvious, what criteria to choose to discriminate against a language ?
Particularly as the "less popular" languages may have people that have a
poor understanding of English making a familiar user interface more
important.
Thanks,
