Hoi, Try the word Niue, we have a selection of languages that know this word in OmegaWiki. I agree with Muke that another interface can be found that will do a better job. Even for this word you will not find 7000 languages, obviously different scripts makes for smaller collections. Thanks, GerardM

Gerard, do you know words which used in 7000 languages?

Hoi, If it becomes ugly after 15 languages, consider that there are something like over 7000 languages out there. This is not taking into account dialects and other linguistic entities that would make for something like over 30.000. Thanks, GerardM

It can be done with javascript, I've done it on en.wiktionary. However
the
tool that does this ([[en:User:Conrad.Irwin/parser.js]]) does way too
many
other things. I ran into a peculiar bug with the # links to each
section
but I'm sure if I were to roll it out again it could be resolved.
The parsing of the page is fairly easy to do, assuming that all
language
headers are <h2>, it's just a case of iterating over the whole document
and
moving nodes into boxes, tabbing between boxes is trivial to implement
in
javascript. The only issue occurs if you expect to get a language
heading
within a box, in which case you have to parse recursively which is much tougher.
The other thing to think about is Category links, do you want to split
them
into languages too, that could be the trickiest bit.
It becomes a little ugly after 15 or so languages, as the bar of tabs begins to take up a noticeable amount of the screen space, and so the useful information gets pushed further down out of sight.
It would in some ways be nice to have each language separated by some
PHP
allowing this effect for anonymous users too, but that leads to further issues with urls and it would not be a trivial extension to write.

Hoi, How many languages do you currently support? What would be the
maximum
that
you could safely support ?? Thanks, GerardM

Sysop of Russian and Ukrainian Wiktionaries Al Silonov suggests to

another

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?
