Right now, on the actual www.wikipedia.org, there is *little way* a user not fluent in english, will have the idea to scroll and look everywhere, down to the bottom of the page, inside a crowded list of international links, to find the link to a latin wikipedia.
? Look again. When I get to http://www.wikipedia.org/ and I'm logged out, I see, very large and near the top: Danish, German, Esperanto, Spanish, French, Dutch, Polish, and Portuguese.
But not Latin, Frisian, ....
It seems very prominent to me already. It seems sensible to me that those links should be translated to Espanol, Deutsche, etc. (But not by me, since I don't even know what "French" is in French. Francais?)
"Español", "Deutsch", "Français".
But they seem plenty prominent enough.
They don't seem at all prominent to me. They're in with a bunch of header material that my eye naturally ignores; I'm drawn to the beginning of paragraphed text further down.
