As a precursor to incorporating a new language switcher in the new version of Vector I'd like to improve the performance of loading the switcher. It seems most code can be deferred until the language selector button is clicked. This shaves around 30kb of resources off the critical path for most users. There's potential here for a positive performance impact so we should follow up the deployment by checking the associated performance graphs to see if there's improvement. Note, if the compact personal links feature is enabled there is no performance saving for now. This will be addressed in follow ups.

== Universal Language Selector == The Universal Language Selector extension (ULS) provides a flexible way to configure and deliver language settings like interface language, fonts, and input methods (keyboard mappings). This will allow users to type text in different languages not directly supported by their keyboard, read content in a script for which fonts are not available locally, or customise the language in which menus are displayed.

See GPL-LICENSE and MIT-LICENSE for details. == Installation == For a very, very quick start add the following lines to LocalSettings.php of your MediaWiki setup: wfLoadExtension( 'UniversalLanguageSelector' ); By default, ULS will appear at personal toolbar position. If you want ULS at interlanguage position, add the following line: $wgULSPosition = 'interlanguage'; == Developers == The MediaWiki Universal Language Selector project uses jquery.uls: https://github.com/wikimedia/jquery.uls Its development is at Wikimedia Github account. Any fixes to lib/ should happen at Github. Follow the build instructions of jquery.uls to create jquery.uls.js.
