I'm not the person being asked, but I think
there's
a simple solution:
www.wikipedia.org should do an HTTP redirect to
en.wikipedia.org,
de.wikipedia.org or whatever based on the language
preference in the
browser. If someone who has German in their browser
then wants to work on
the English WP, they just click on the "English"
link on the top, or go to
en.wikipedia.org next time instead of
www.wikipedia.org. But in general,
no language would be preferred, and the browser
settings would be honored
instead.
Is there any problem with that? I strongly agree
with Cunctator and others
that a static, language-"neutral" frontpage is a
very, very bad idea, esp.
from a usability perspective.
Yes, this is what I want as well. The only objection
that has been raised (to my knowledge) is that people
may get directed to the wrong language. I don't
understand this objection, as we should be using the
language preference setting in each visitor's web
browser. Also, a person would still be one click away
from any other language, and he could set a language
in his Wikipedia preferences should he desire.
