Description

Say a Tiki site is translated in 18 languages. If I only speak one language, the "best language" works for me. But if I speak 3 languages, I would like to be able to easily see the content in those 3 languages without being shown the rest.

Suggestion: For each use to have an ordered list of preferred languages.

For example, a user selects:
1- French
2- English
3- Spanish

and let's suppose we add a language setting to forums. Please see :i18n forumsQuestion

So, when I list the forums, I want to see those 3 forums, but not the other 15. Without a system like this, it makes it easy for everyone to be tempted to just stay in their main language.

Another example: wiki page translations. If a wiki page is available in 18 languages, just show the user the list from their preferred languages

This would be very useful for wiki structures. Using the next/previous in structure would show page in the user's preferred language, if available. This would be useful for doc.tikiwiki.org and the Mozilla Support site.
