Some articles, especially about geographical topics, will have longer and more detailed articles in their local language. These languages should be presented in the first choice list. (See my other post, I posted this idea about the length of the article again, to allow for a separation of the discussions about locality vs. length of the articles.)
Another metric for an interesting language version on a topic might be the number of edits for the article.
Hi,
I just responded on your other thread, but I'm not sure that the overall length of an article is a priority to check before showing if a particular language is available to read in.
But, that being said, we've thought of that and how many edits an article has had as another basis for search results. However, I'm not sure we'll be able to test those theories any time soon, even though they're quite interesting to think about.
Thanks!
Hi,
