Here via a comment at lian's

I believe the OTW is working on this.

We/they are. There actually was a first try ages ago that didn't really work out, for various reasons (Our Plural Doesn't Work That Way, for example), and at the moment other features have priority, for example the Challenges feature. [personal profile] lian and I have been lobbying for a multilingual user-interface for ages, I posted about it too.

I would also very much approve of the translation features, despite the fact that so far, I only translated one of my stories and nobody else's (I'm too shy to ask, mostly).

They already have the ability to display all the works in one language, but an author does not have the ability to automatically assign a primary language to their fic.

This confuses me a bit, because while I do use language tags, I also choose the language of my fic from the drop down menu (I think it's a bit problematic that the default setting is "English", however). Should I ever write that bilingual fic, I will have a problem, but so far I could always assign a language. Inclusion in the search interface is planned, AFAIK. The site map for browsing is only a temporary solution.
