Description Pau Giner 2012-11-23 09:30:32 UTC
Currently the ULS does not support content language change, that makes "Display settings" redundant with the main list of languages. In addition, some sites where do not have a clear separation between content and UI (compared to Wikipedia article vs. chrome) which translates into a low need to set them separately.

Until the selector is able to set both UI and content language, or for wikis that only require one kind of selection, display language selection can be optionally removed and present the view as font settings. A mockup is provided at: http://i.imgur.com/PGdtu.png

I think this is resolved now that interlanguage/personal positions can be set. Asked Pau to assess.

Pau: ping?
Comment 4 Pau Giner 2013-11-05 08:11:39 UTC
Yes. Some changes made after the initial report made this much less relevant.
With the interlanguage position there is no issue. For the personal position, the selection at the settings panel makes sense in relation with font selection (that was also modified after the initial report).

I would no longer consider it an issue in the current state.
