I kinda like the idea of a language switcher button in the search ui, along with a shortlist of most-frequently-accessed languages. I think we could make it fairly nonobtrusive for people who don't use it while making it super easy to activate for those for whom its a major feature.

How about having the search box placeholder text specify the lang and when the search box is empty, since there's no need for a clear button, have instead a small lang switcher button?Hi,
I am raising this issue every once in a while...Is there any plan to make the app less monolingual? See
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34100Currently, the app shows content only in one language. It's possible to switch to another language according to the interlanguage link, but the searching will always be in one language until changed in the preference.Back when the feedback mailing list was active this was one of the most requrested features, and I personally strongly support it.
At the very least, searching must work in the language of the currently displayed article, because seeing content in one language and searching in another is badly confusing.
Better yet, there should be a way to define several "favorite languages" in which the user is interested, and to show search results from all of them.Any chance of that happening soon?
