I haven't yet looked into submitting a bug report on this extension.
It's on my list if soemone else here doesn't manage to do so first.

If we don't use such an extension, what can we do to provide the Wiki
interface in localized languages to people who do not have a Wiki
account?  Not everyone is able to manage in English.  Put it another
way, imagine that the interface defaulted to Russian if you were not
logged in.  Would those of us who cannot read Russian be able to
navigate the Wiki interface well enough to register and then set the
language to one we can read/understand?  I know I couldn't in this case.
 At least with this extension in place, we make an effort to provide the
Wiki navigation and interface in the reader's preferred language.

Is there a better solution?  if there is one, we can certainly install
it an use it.  I just haven't yet found one that was better.
