This Greasemonkey script change language of Wikipedia quickly.

I know there are many links to other languages at bottom of sidebar. However, I has some problems.

• Troublesome scrolling to bottom of page
• Too many languages in sidebar

for these probrem, I have created Greasemonkey has following functions:

• Add language link as tab into top of page
• Show only languages frequently use as tab
• Add language changer as drop-down list
• Double-click to toggle language(next version support multiple-language)

/* Install */

This script already uploaded to Userscripts.org. So please install it from this pase.

There are 3 main functions:

1. Language tab : Add tab into tab-bar have ‘main’, ‘note’ at top of page
2. Language list : Add drop-down list. select to jump.
3. Quick toggle : Double-click to toggle language

Configurable items

Sample settings

// configurations
var cfg = {
	// lang tab
	tab: {
		// true or false
		enable: true,
		// lang code you want to show as tab
		// *** if you don't specify, it won't show any langs ***
		lang: ['ja', 'en', 'de'],
		// 'code', 'name' or 'both'
		label: 'name'
	},
	// lang drop-down list

};

/* Conclusion */

I have inspired by Google Language Code Changer. Recently, the chance that talk with foreign people via Skype chat was increased. So I appreciate Wikipedia. I wish this script make Wikipedia more useful.

The quality of code is not good. However, I enjoyed coding. I love JS.

enjoy Wikipedia !  ;)
