Atleast {{user $1}} is available in all languages... I can be much better
than using the preferences...

What about my suggestion - if you haven't
read my previous letter...
What I suggest, is that in the "Log in / create an account" section
would be
a drop down menu for "native language"
or something like that (maybe
with
the help of uselang) - so after the user creates
an account, a script
would
create a babel box in the user's page
(something like {{user $1}} ) or
he
would get a welcome message in the user talk page
( {{subst:welcome/$1}}
) -
or maybe both?
That way the user would get a welcome message that could guide him in
the
Commons, and it would be easier to contact with
him.

Please also note that not all templates are translated on all
languages (actually translations wary by template). So we need
intelligent fallback to default template before substitution. For
example, MediaWiki:UserMessages.js can't do this.
Eugene.
