One solution, proposed by the reporter of this issue, is to make the language switcher more prominent. Currently, it is near the footer of the front page.

I've mentioned some time ago that it would be nice to have a "Wikipedia-style" language listing on the docs pages. Currently you can't discover them easily. On Wikipedia the languages often take a lot of space, but I don't think that we have articles with so much translations in general.

Most people don't even know that MDN docs are translatable, so having the translated languages and a link like "Translate this article into your language" somewhere on a more prominent place (ideally without having to click a dropdown), could make translation more visible and encourage localizers.
