...and Nikerabbit removed it giving only the explanation: "not here, per Nikerabbit (would have already fixed the real issues if only somebody had told me)"
It seems like he's saying that someone should've let him know about the autoselection issue, but he doesn't seem to agree that _even with_ auto language selection, the user should still be able to choose a different language manually on the mainpage.

You can go to http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Main_Page?setlang=es but that's obviously not something everyone knows. I once added a language selector but it was removed at some point. I added it back now.

Yes, when I went to commons I was pleased to get a notice that said "Wikimedia Commons está disponible en español" at the top of the page. Doesn't obligate the user to change, and the language chooser bar offers
the
user a plethora of other choices in case the language guess was wrong.
Would
be nice to see the same thing on Meta. And while we're at it, why isn't Wikispecies more multilingual?

As a IP is impossible (at least for me) and before someone complain:
Yes,
I'm sure my IP is identified as been Portuguese.
Wikimedia Commons offers anonymous users the possibility to see the site in their (guessed) language AFAIK. I'm sure it's not rocket science to port that to meta if necessary.
Perhaps you should log a bug on that?
