My crappy Win2k laptop won't do non-ISO-8859-1 very well at all. (This is not a request for tech support.) So, while fiddling with the portal page, I managed to put "The Free Encyclopedia" up the top in all the six >50k languages except Japanese. Could someone please fix this? It should be the characters used on their version of the Wikipedia logo.
The portal template is [[m:Www.wikipedia.org_portal]] .
(Also, I see the logo has no version of our glorious catchphrase. Would someone be able to do a version with all six versions? I would except I'm in a rush today.)
For those wondering, the next three largest languages are nl: (47k articles), it: (32k) and pt: (28k). I predict nl: will go on an all-out drive for new articles ;-)
It'd be nice if our page was as cool as www.wikipedia.ch . Six search boxes?
Kate mooted on IRC the idea of autotranslating the page based on browser accept language - not quite a redirect, but the same content rendered in the language the browser says it speaks. What do you all think?
