Hello.
I've been modifying the standard MediaWiki software for my own site, but have
not been able to figure out how to modify it so that non-logged-in users can
pick a language. Ideally, I would like to change the language selection form
so that it sets a new global variable of my own, which can then be used both
for determining the regular language display and also for routing users to the
correct article in the selected language.
Any ideas?
It might not be what you want, but you might try an idea I've had: use
Accept-Language (sent by browser with each request) to choose the
interface language for a not-logged-in user. See

for more info and a simple experimental patch.
