Compact Interlanguage Links have been launched as a beta feature on Wikimedia projects. This feature is intended to facilitate cross-language navigation by making the long lists of languages on the sidebar a shorter list which will be more relevant for each user.

Users will be able to opt-in for the feature from the beta features settings (the "beta" link available at the top-right area when you are logged-in).

The initial implementation has been done by Niharika Kohli as part of her OPW internship with the great help from the Language Engineering team and many other members of our community willing to improve language support. The beta feature has been created as part of the Universal Language Selector since it relies on several of its components.

Thanks to all those involved! 

We are looking forward to improving the feature based on all your feedback. So feel free to leave your impressions on the project talk page.
