Tabbed language idea

Fragment of a discussion from User talk:Yair rand/LQT archive
Here is my two cents. Look at [1] this is a template which supports wiki content localization and therefore offers language selection. Although it is unsuitable the UI could be useful as a basis for tabbed navigation.
Also what I think is missing from most implementations is the ability to select/deselect and remember a user language view preferences. Which works nicely in the translation editor.
