I have just finished catching up on the thread, and I see my idea
doesn't approach the usability the other ideas have.  As you said ...

... it is not user friendly.

Yes, that would be useful.

Maybe we offer it as a practice suggestion/guideline.  "One way to help
keep track of your translated pages is to add CategoryLang$LANG to the
bottom of the page.  This helps you make sure that no pages are
forgotten after being translated, so they can be linked in to the
per-language table of contents."

BTW, side note ... I'm sorry that you all have to translate directly
into the Wiki.  IMO, you are heroes for the effort alone.  My hope is
that some of the systems being worked on right now are going to give us
a way to yank strings from the Wiki pages, put them in POT files, and
make this part of the regular tools.
