Thoughts:

  1. Which languages to offer?
    Available UI translation as prominent options, but also all (or most?) languages available in Wikidata for entity labels.
  2. Widget position?
    In the navbar at the top right corner. Should be easy to spot but not in the way.
  3. Presentation of choices?
    Having each Language name how it is written in that Language (like on Wikidata)

Your answers sound good. Some additions:

  1. Depending on the type of widget, maybe there is no way to make the UI languages much more prominent. If you don't want to implement a language selector as on Wikipedia, then it might come down to typing Latin language codes into a combobox.
  2. Yes.
  3. One could do with language codes for a start to simplify matters. It should be possible to get the list of languages and language names from the WikiBase or MediaWiki code.

I'm missing a language selector widget as well. Could you copy it from Prop explorer? Sometimes my language is different because of my computer settings and I'm not able to change it to English on SQID.
