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.

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
