−	:::I'm afraid I disagree. I think it is important to convey the spirit of the Lex Cornelia de Linguis Publicis that clearly gives two languages a higher standing than any others in the Republic. This couldn't be conveyed by putting them all in the same line. Also, the "loss" of a line (but one can easily scroll down) doesn't seem to me at least to be such a big problem in comparison.

	I don't know enough about wiki internals to be able to do anything in the left navigation area; though static links would be easy, determining whether articles in each language existed and rendering the links appropriately is harder. For now, I think, we'll have to keep a language-switching widget within the article text itself.
