Description Phil Chang 2012-06-28 00:42:32 UTC
One of the preferences that makes sense for user accounts is preferred language versions of Wikipedia. This has been requested by many users and is a straightforward usability enhancement. On the mobile side, the goal is to expose certain account settings after a user logs in, and language versions is one of the most important.

This is not the same as the Wikipedia Language preference that changes the chrome of the desktop site. Instead, this is about navigating between language versions of Wikipedia and pre-selecting the few versions that a user typically uses.

Here is how this could look in a settings screen:

Preferred language versions: 
drop-down menu
drop-down menu
drop-down menu

Then these languages would appear at the top of the list of languages when the user chooses a language (on mobile there will be two places). The design is up to the designers involved, but as an example, for inter-wiki links, the languages that match these preferences would appear at the top, if those languages are available for that article.
