My Esperanto was only an example. Some people may use
an exotic language, for which we don't have a wikipedia
(x-klingon?) at first place and another "popular"
language at second place (f.i. german), for which a
wikipedia exists. Why should those people get an english
page instead of the german one?

I think, the problem (and the solution) is clear now ...
