Well, I don't know much about this stuff -- but I think that
auto-detection for translations is probably going to get messy when the
translated pages start to use other (e.g. translated) page names. Or am
I wrong here?
Here, I specifically refer to adding links to the pages to translations that
exist, and not to those that do not. This would, of course, rely upon the
LanguageDict pages being maintained properly to work with translated page
names. There shouldn't be any messiness in that.

/me hopes that this redirection only works on the front-page -- but
that's the case atm afaics. Good. :-))
This is dependent upon a number of factors, but is handled very intelligently
by the wiki, so we hopefully won't see any issues where people are redirected
when they don't wish to be. The basics of this capability are discussed at
