First, proposed system will make user less likely to check what word mean in second/third language. It will also make user less likely to edit second third language definition, especially if languages belong to same family and user/editor speaks more then 2 languages. Also, that will make some comparisons of different languages definitions less convenient - now for words defined in two-three languages you can use scroll/mouse scroll. With proposed system, again, you have to click.
In terms of language selection convenience, we already got "Contents" menu with all languages clearly visible.

Sysop of Russian and Ukrainian Wiktionaries Al Silonov suggests to make tabs for different languages if the word uses in many languages. He made example here: http://ru.wiktionary.org/wiki/User:Al_Silonov/yucca . I made another example: http://uk.wiktionary.org/wiki/November . But these examples use subpages and we cannot add the tab "Add other language...". Can it be made using scripts and without subpages? And who can make it?
