Description seahen123 2010-01-10 11:41:33 UTC 
It would be nice if, on the rare occasions when I wanted to see content from a non-English wiki, I didn't have to manually add ?uselang=en to the URL to get an interface in English. Why not let users choose, in their preferences, to add uselang=en (or whatever language their preferences indicate) to all interwiki links displayed to them?
Comment 1 Chad H. 2010-01-10 13:21:31 UTC 
I certainly wouldn't want any such option on-by-default. If I click a link to ru.wikipedia, I expect the interface to be in Russian. Unless I'm logged in and have an interface language set, in which case it'd use that language. Adding a pref for this is overkill, maybe could be a Gadget on-wiki if someone really wanted it.

Suggest WONTFIX.
Comment 2 Niklas Laxström 2010-01-10 15:22:16 UTC 
Not like this. Maybe if we ever get global preferences.
Comment 3 Roan Kattouw 2010-01-11 12:55:58 UTC 
Yes, global preferences would presumably allow you to set English as your interface language on all wikis so you won't need &uselang= for that anymore.
