Hello,

I am Pablo and I am working on this bug. I thought it would be easier, and i think I need an advice (it is my first JuniorJob).

The idea is modify Wikipedia plugin to show Wikipedia items not only in the locale language, but also in additional configured languages.

It is easy to query for additional languages, but when I have to show all this information, I could try:
  • WikipediaItems in the same position overlap. In this way, a contextual menu let user select the language he wants.
  • Prioritize languages and show only one WikipediaItem for each article.

And here comes troubles.

In one hand, WikipediaItems do not overlap and only the last item downloaded from a location is showed in the map. As long as I could see, only plugins of differents types can overlap.

On the other hand, I can not decide the order in which the plugin will download the information, so I can not prioritize languages.

Also I found another problem that would do not allow prioritize a language over another one: there are Wikipedia articles with different names in each language, so it is no possible to know which WikipediaItems are the same article in different languages.

I do not know how to really start with these problems.

Thanks,
Pablo
