The <languages /> box used by the Translate extension was ok for a first iteration but it needs a graduation as a proper list of languages available:

Is there even a skin-neutral way to add interwiki-like links? Does the other projects sidebar work in any skin?
It would depend on how the sidebar portlet is actually added, on the
front or back end, etc...
A lot of skins do use the same, or similar, sidebar rendering for their
navigation as vector/monobook, but classes and ids can change, and
specific ones (like interlanguages) are often moved about... to do it
properly we would probably need a dedicated function to place it in so
the skins can decide it for themselves, with it as part of the default
sidebar, but also available for use in general.
Change 437062 had a related patch set uploaded (by Nikerabbit; owner: Nikerabbit):
[mediawiki/extensions/Translate@master] Allow displaying page translation language list in the sidebar
When the page is translated into many languages, the language list takes way too much space:
Minerva doesn't have this menu so the button will disappear from mobile. What should the language button link to as a fallback?
Will the proposed changes also provide a common interface for obtaining languages e.g. via SpecialPage->getLanguages?
These language links are injected to the list of interlanguage links, so whatever Minerva does with them also applies to these language links. That should be confirmed by testing of course, I have not done that.
Change 437062 merged by jenkins-bot:
[mediawiki/extensions/Translate@master] Allow displaying page translation language list in the sidebar
@Nikerabbit I cannot expand interlanguage links on translatewii.net - got a javascript error:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'interlanguageList' of undefined
Is it an old bug?
Otherwise looks and works fine - I checked all available skins, e.g. the screenshot with Timeless skin:
@QuimGil added the User-notice tag. Even though this change is merged and already seen on translatewiki.net, it is not going to be seen on Wikimedia sites until a deployment of a configuration change. No date for it is planned yet, but it may happen Some Time Soon. When it will deployed, then there should indeed be a user notice about it.
Sorry, I guess in my excitement I misinterpreted the meaning of MW-1.32-notes (WMF-deploy-2018-09-18 (1.32.0-wmf.22))
Let's discuss deployment in the new task: T204076: Consider moving page translation language links to the sidebar
Small design suggestion: maybe only ≈full translations should have icons alongside them? It seems strange to draw notice for incomplete translations, which is what these icons will do for most readers. (Other than that, it’s great, btw.)
There is question about new look: this is designed identically with interwiki language links pane.
But what about the pages that have both translations and interwiki? For example, https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:About (as comparision with https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Project:About)
How will they differ on the same page? Currently used these same message from header?
This is a closed task. I recommend to discuss WMF issues in the new task: T204076: Consider moving page translation language links to the sidebar
