If a registered user has done already translations to e.g. Catalan, whenever she clicks "Translate this page" it should land on a page ready to start translating in Catalan. If the user has done translations in more than one language then the dropdown could default to the language with more translations. When selecting the dropdown menu the other languages the user has translated should appear in "Common languages" or a specific section at the top. At least the "Common languages" section should list the languages common in the current wiki, not in the World. The current setup makes sense for users we don't know anything about but for the rest is really suboptimal: * English appears as default language for translation, when clearly that is the less likely option. * Iñupiak, ᏣᎳᎩ or Hawai`i appear at the top in "Common languages" (really???) and every time I need to type Catalan to select one of the languages that matter in my wiki.

Sounds reasonable. I am moving it to the Translate extension, because it's not a bug in ULS, but a matter of how Translate uses ULS. > * English appears as default language for translation, when clearly that is > the > less likely option. Definitely. > * Iñupiak, ᏣᎳᎩ or Hawai`i appear at the top in "Common languages" (really???) I guess that you are trying to do this in the US, and according to the CLDR these are the common languages of the US. The mysterious ᏣᎳᎩ language is Cherokee. If you would do this from an IP in Spain, Catalan would appear there. CLDR is the default, but making the defaults smarter is what this bug is about. > and every time I need to type Catalan to select one of the languages that > matter in my wiki. It should basically remember your latest selected languages.
