Motivations and use cases — what motivates people to switch languages, and what are our main use cases here? Some motivations noted in past research include: reading about a topic in a more comfortable language, looking at how different cultures write about a concept, switching to a language that the reader believes will have more extensive content, and learning a language or testing one's skills. From a functional perspective: do people switch back and forth between two languages? Switch once and then not switch back? Switch between more than two languages? A related open question which was not investigated in this test: how large is the group of people who would switch languages but don’t think to look for a language switcher?
