           Summary: Article language choice in the Wikipedia plugin for
                    Marble
           Product: marble
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: marble-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: exabyte at 3mhz.net


Version:           unspecified
OS:                Linux

Marble currently displays only the Wikipedia articles that are in the locale
language, and I can't seem to find a way to change it. It would be great if
there was a way to configure it to display English articles as well in addition
(or if that's too complicated to implement, at least an option to easily switch
the language when needed). Local Wikipedia sites often have too few articles,
so they often lack an article on many international sites, or the articles are
too short on details. On the other hand, local Wikipedia sites often have more
articles or details about local sites.

I propose to get the articles in several configurable languages, for example:
1. Primary language: Configurable, defaulting to the language of the locale.
2. Secondary language: Configurable, defaulting to either English or none.
3. Geographic locale language: The language official or most common at the
geographic site 

(I realize the third one would be hard to implement and not too useful without
either integration with a translation service or ability to send the article to
a browser, but I decided to drop the suggestion for consideration.)

If the same article is available in several languages, Marble would take you to
the first one (e.g. the primary) that's available, and then let you switch to
one of the other languages.



I think it would be great if there is an option to override the primary
language for articles and at the same time 

Reproducible: Didn't try
