Well, obviously, when you hold the cursor over a given area it tells you
what language it is linked to... and in some areas there would need to
be a choice. Bear in mind that this is not providing the ability to
start a wikipedia in any language of the world - it just has to link to
the 12 or 15 where the work has already begun. So Canada would give you
a choice of English or French... and China would take you to which ever
dialect has been chosen for the 'Chinese' wikipedia.
