Okay…
So uselang is not usable for Liangents proposal.
An item could have the label only in en and the description only in en-ca... uselang=en would miss the one and uselang=en-ca the other… his solution would display en as well as en-ca for both (with the missing language highlighted in a not yet defined way)
I still think that a gadget would be the best for his proposal… users could easily turn it off and modify it for their own needs.

uselang in general lets you temporarily display an interface with a different language. You can use it with regular languages (uselang=es, uselang=zh, etc.).
However, uselang=qqx is special. It shows the keys (identifiers for a message) of the MW messages (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:System_messages) used in the page.
