Also, we already have that in the left side of every
page, the sidebar on
every article lists the version of that article available in different
languages.

Hi,
Today, I went to download WordPress and it told me it is also available
in Tamil. Very neatly done as it somehow detected that I am from
Tamilnadu.
See the screenshot at:

A similar announcement in English Wiki projects is sure to double or
triple traffic to Indic Wiki projects.
We have been requesting this feature for years.
Curious when it will be implemented.
Ravi

I tried that. twice.
Back in 2010, we had banners pointing to Indic wikis, with messages like,
there is a wiki in your language you can edit. Then it lead to landing
pages with lists of indic language wikis.

This banner ran for close to 2 months in late 2010 and early 2011. I think
WMF staff might have tried it again during the year.
Conclusion, it did not make a dent. Most people dismissed the banners, and
never clicked, those that did, never followed to edit. It made little to
no
difference in the visitor or editor stats for the period.
