That’s a good point, we need to agree which skin we’re discussing. AFAIK we’re discussing

Hi,
First of all we need to decide how prominent we want this functionality to
be.
I would make it more transparent, since theoretically you should change
your language preference just once (in the Administration, and per user)
and all the pages should be displayed according to that preference. This is
not something that need to be highly visible and that you would change
every day.
