Right now the UI language option is only accessible for registered users through the preference page. I think we should also place a selection box somewhere in the mainpage for anonymous users so they can choose the UI language as well.
Of course, it _should_ default to a content-negotiated language based on the browser preferences and the available languages on the server... right? I mean, that's just the Right Thing to do.
We have some content negotiation code in Mediawiki already. Right now I think it does MIME types, but it could be quickly adapted to doing languages, too. We should take some time to do qs ratings for the available language files.
