Description Tomasz Finc 2012-08-15 22:08:31 UTC
From: mrjohncummings@gmail.com

The idea was for the Wikipedia app to check if it was in the same language as the phone and if not offer to open links in the language the app is in. This way it will work a little like qrpedia but support hundreds more languages that mobile phone currently don't support which qrpedia is reliant on (e.g Welsh) empowering Wikipedia users and won't not screw up qrpedia stats. 

Here's an example of how the process would work:

The phone is English but the Wikipedia App is in Welsh. A QR or QRpedia code is scanned, the phone is in English so the QRpedia code takes the phone through to an English Wikipedia page. The page is opened in the Wikipedia App. The Wikipedia app recognises that it is in Welsh and offers the article in Welsh instead of English, this could be saved as a preference so it wouldn't ask you every time.
