Description

The following design sketch is suggested to be implemented:

Such as on Wikidata, on the very top have the language icon with the current setting next to it (e.g. English). This is clickable / tappable.

When actioned on, we get a modal with a text ("Select a language"), a language selector (based on our ZObjectSelector but restricted to languages), and a cancel action (e.g. a X in the corner or a cancel button) and an action button (Switch? OK?) that activates once a language is selected.

Once the language is selected, it takes us to the version of the given page in the respective language (The respective patterns are currently being implemented in T268678 )

It is OK if that link for now only works in Vector22 and is not immediately supported in Minerva. We will set up the default mobile skin to be Vector22. It has to work in both Vector22 and Minerva.

here's a minimal design proposal, that builds on top of the existing zobject selector, filtered down to objects of type language.

  1. in the top navigation we could display a codex quiet button (with icon) displaying the current language (and icon-only button on smaller viewports).

  1. on tap/click we display a lookup component where users can pick a language via a search. in the expanded menu we also display the UN6 languages as suggested items. for recurring editors, it might be beneficial to display as suggested items the languages they contributed to most often.

  1. on search, we display results ordered alphabetically. if users select a result, we switch the UI language, and the content language to the selected language. if they move the focus out of the lookup, we switch back to the previous state.
