Long-term, it would be nice to make translations more accessible.  
Auto-detection of existing translations to provide links only when a 
translation is available would be nice.  Right now, wiki translation is still 
at an early stage, so we wouldn't gain much out of it at this point, and I 
don't know that the MoinMoin hacking to make this happen would be simple.

We do have one nice advantage: As long as the translations are done properly, 
MoinMoin will detect the language setting of a browser and attempt to load 
the translated page automatically.  For example, if you set your browser to 
French and visit FedoraMain, you'll be forwarded to fr_FR/FedoraPrincipal, 
with all of the built-in links in French, too.  My hope is that this feature 
will make links to translations less critical.

We'll have to revisit the idea again down the road.
