On Betawiki we have the link encoding ?setlang= which
changes the language
until you setlang something else. But that doesn't work on other wikis, but
would be a nice feature. Especially useful for Commons links from local
projects.

Hmm, I think we could manage it if we changed
our {{***Lang}}
templates a little bit. See for example what we do with Wikimania
2008 wiki: <http://wikimania2008.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page> (try
clicking on the different language links and see what happens to the
interface).
The problem with that is that unless you encode all links with
&uselang=XX, the interface will "jump" back to default (English) after
just one click. It could be argued that that effect is disorienting,
confusing and unexpected (there is no clear way to understand "what
you did" to make the localised text disappear, nor "how to get it
back").
So, IMO that is a very poor hack that is no substitute for a proper
solution. (We tried to confront this problem at Commons. :) No good
solution yet. More tech is needed.)
cheers,
Brianna
