I have exactly the opposite experience with the new language button. In the old design, all of the main languages for the page were easily available in a list on the left, so there was much less clicking and scrolling required. You could also see at a glance which topics were most well-documented in which language. Now you have to scroll all the way back to the top of the page to change it, and you have to waste a click just to see which languages are available in the first place. Putting the table of contents shortcuts on the left instead of the top, on the other hand, seems pointless to me, since if I wanted to jump to a particular section, I would already know that at the top of the page, and I wouldn't need to do it after I was already halfway down. Putting languages halfway down makes more sense to me, since it's exactly halfway down where if I find some controversial text or a disappointingly slim section, that's exactly when I want to see which other languages are available and if those versions contained more details or a different point of view. I read a lot of Wikipedia, so literally every day since the redesign I've found myself annoyed at all the extra scrolling and clicking I have been required to do while this new floating sidebar sits there providing negative value. Negative because it's both wider than the old one, and because it constantly distracts my reading as I scroll by changing the color. I do like the idea of providing a floating sidebar, and I am not opposed to putting the table of contents in there for people who want it, but removing the language navigation functionality was really a big miss for me.
