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

# 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
