Many users doesn't even know that there are wiki translations to be 
done. I only knew because I asked in IRC and quaid returned me the 
Language wiki page. Maybe implementing this will grow the volunteers 
willing to translate the pages. It's motivating.

I know that this is extra-work and doesn't have too much importance for 
some, but I think it's important. So to save you work, I'll try to 
search for some solution and present here in the list if I find one. I 
don't like to only talk, I like action too :)

Good! I didn't know this! I'll try right now :)
