Language Bar Broken?

[BrendaWang]

I had been try to put language bar on side bar. But it will let menu bar 
become very long. You need to scroll down for a while to find the 
language link you want.
So I give up .
Then try to find out other way .

I think this extension is useful.

But , I must make sure it can be work perfectly on wiki first , then I 
will enable this function.
