Thread:Talk:Universal Language Selector/Menus vs. input methods

I really like option b for changing the menu language -- I think it's appropriately easy to access. And I think overlaying the interlanguage links reduces confusion -- you can either switch a language, or change the settings for the language you're on. User tests will confirm whether this works, but intuitively it makes a lot of sense to me.

For input methods I worry that any of the options suggested are too detached from, well, inputs to be discoverable. I've not read through all the docs, so if the goal is to have an additional input method activator somewhere, that's great. If not, I'd suggest having an input method activation widget associated with each input. That would require styling it for text areas & text inputs, but I think that's worth the effort. (Having redundant activation/deactivation methods is probably not a bad idea.)
