데스크톱 개선 프로젝트의 일부로서 우리는 다른 언어 위키로 전환하는 새로운 방법을 도입하고 있습니다. 우리의 목표는 언어 전환 기능을 모든 사용자가 찾기 더 쉽게 만드는 것입니다. 우리의 두 번째 목표는 모든 독자들이 각 프로젝트마다 많은 수의 언어를 이용할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있도록 함으로써 위키미디어 프로젝트의 전반적인 이해를 개선시키는 것입니다.

출시 계획
2020/2021년 회계연도 3분기와 4분기(2020년 1월 ~ 4월)에 이 변경에 관한 작업을 진행하고 있으며 2021년 5월 우리의 1단계 작업이 적용되길 희망하고 있습니다. 우리는 우리의 얼리 어답터 위키에 이 변경 내용을 기본으로 적용할 예정입니다. 이 변경 내용은 새 경험 참여에 동의한, 로그인한 모든 사용자들도 이용할 수 있습니다.

기능 설명 및 요건

 * 1) 언어 옵션은 페이지 최상단에 문서 제목과 한 줄이 되어 분명하게 표시된 버튼을 통해 사용할 수 있게 됩니다.
 * 2) 언어 버튼을 선택하면 각 사용자의 제안 언어를 포함하는 언어 목록과 해당 문서의 사용 가능한 모든 언어의 전체 목록이 열립니다. 이 목록은 또한 언어 디스플레이 설정과 언어 입력 설정의 진입점이 포함됩니다.
 * 3) 원래의 언어 목록은 더 이상 사이드바에 보이지 않게 됩니다.
 * 4) 이 버튼의 새 위치는 페이지 헤더의 변경이 요구되며, 특히 페이지 인디케이터의 위치에 일부 변경이 있습니다.
 * 5) 우리는 JS 접근 권한이 없는 사용자를 위해 모든 언어의 전체 목록을 표시하는 자바스크립트 없는 폴백도 갖출 예정입니다.

편집자의 테스트
In December 2019, we published a prototype of the first few features of the desktop improvements project for community feedback. The prototype presented a collapsible version of the sidebar, a max-width constraint on the content, and a more prominent location for the language switcher. We received detailed, thoughtful feedback from over 200 logged-in users, across five languages.

Overall, most users preferred the new location of the language selector - they reported it was easier to find than the previous location. People who used the language selector often reported that it would be faster for them to switch languages. A number of users also reported that the new location is more intuitive as it follows a pattern that other multilingual sites use.

While many people noted that the new position of the language switcher was easier to find, they also expressed concern about having an extra click in order to switch languages, especially for cases where people expect to switch frequently. We are currently considering adding single-click functionality for the most-frequently used languages. The sketch below represents some of our current ideas:

독자의 테스트
In January - May, 2020 we worked with Hureo, a user research firm based in India, to perform a user study on how new and casual readers use the desktop interface of Wikipedia. The study was separated in two phases, with the first phase focusing on primarily English readers, and the second phase on bilingual and non-English readers. The goal of the study was to understand the experience of new and casual readers and to identify the main issues new and frequent readers had with the current site.

Both the group of participants reading in regional languages, as well as the group of participants reading in English, were overall unaware that we provide language switching functionality within the page. Most of the readers surveyed would access articles on multiple languages by searching for the article via a search engine.

When interacting with a prototype of the new location of the language switching functionality, both new and casual readers preferred the new location.

More details available in the full report.

usertesting.com의 초기 테스트
We performed user testing comparing the current placement of interlanguage links (in the sidebar) with the proposed location in the article header. The goal of these tests was to determine if people can find and use the language switching capability faster than the previous location. The results of the tests confirmed our hypothesis - participants in the test group (new location) we able to find the language switcher quicker than participants in the control group (old location). Based on these results, we plan on continuing to explore moving the language selector to this location as a part of the desktop improvements project. More details are available in our full report.

아이콘 테스트
As far as we know there is no "standard", globally recognized language icon. The icon that we use currently in Vector, Minerva, and Timeless features a Latin "A" character and a Chinese "文" character (which means "language"). On Phabricator, there is a discussion, including some history, about the icon.

After further discussion we determined that the only other strong candidate for a language icon is a globe 🌐. We ran a simple test on usertesting.com to try and understand if the globe icon is more or less obvious as a language icon than the one we currently use (we can call it the character icon). Out of 40, multilingual participants: 35 guessed the character icon was for switching languages, and 13 guessed the globe icon was for switching languages (people were able to guess that both icons were for languages, thus the total number of guesses is more than the number of people in the test). These results are not statistically significant, however they help inform two assumptions:


 * 1) the globe icon is probably not more obvious as a language icon than the character icon
 * 2) we should use the label "languages" whenever possible in addition to the icon (since ~13% of people did not guess the character icon was related to switching languages).

결론: 추가 테스트가 끝날 때까지 우리는 문자 아이콘을 계속 사용할 예정입니다.

양적 테스트
We are planning to perform an A/B test to measure the frequency of language switching in the control version (current interface) and the test version (button interface).

제한

 * Main pages don't have page headings. We need to find an alternative solution/location for presenting the language switcher (or language links) on Main pages. Many Main pages already have language links panels on them. Maybe we use these as inspiration for possible solutions? We have setup a task in Phabricator for a discussion.
 * Currently, the setting for the compact language list will not be functional on the new version of the vector skin, as the language functionality introduced via the button makes this setting irrelevant. We will be removing this option for the new version of the vector skin in T282149

관련 작업
The Language Team is working on the Universal Language Selector. Once they have finished we will be replacing the current ULS with their updated one. The updated ULS will, among other improvements, feature support for language variants.
