Background
As we reconsider onboarding users, an area to explore is multilingual support considering our target audiences are based in countries where multilingualism is prevalent.
Presently we suggest languages based on device language. This task is to explore suggesting languages based on geographic location.
Must haves
- How to determine top languages used based on location @SNowick_WMF @Dbrant
- Consideration of community acceptance of approach @ARamadan-WMF
- Metrics to determine if this change has the desired outcome (awareness/pageviews/translations of local languages) @SNowick_WMF @scblr
- Possible concerns for privacy based on technical approach @LGoto
Some other stuff to consider/discuss
- Are there differences in other apps that take this approach to localization? @scblr
User Stories
As an avid reader of French and Arabic Wikipedia in Morocco, I want to know that Moroccan Arabic Wikipedia exists, so that I can help grow content where I see gaps on smaller language wikis.
