Activate Extension:LanguageSelector on wmf wiki

Description:
Please activate [[wm:Extension:LanguageSelector]] on wmf wiki ([[Wikimedia:]] or http://wikimediafoundation.org). It is a multilingual website and most of visitors have no account (registration needs approval). It would make a sense to give them the language their browser (hence they) prefer rather than have them choose pages manually in every time.

Bastique and I talked about it recently and found it a good idea.

Thank you for your attention!

Hmm, my impression is that this would completely demolish caching on the site... unless put in in manual-only mode I guess.
