Regina,

I think I figured it out with respect to the links at the bottom of the page
and the use of OrigLang and Lang templates.

It seems there are two approaches:
1 : with the templates OrigLang and Lang
2 : with a separate template that refers to a dedicated namespace (root path)
    like http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Template:Documentation/Languages
which is used at for instance http://wiki.openoffice.org/w/index.php?title=NL/Documentation

Option 1 will place a bar on the topside of the page with boxes that references to the subpages of the translated page, which will be placed UNDER the referred page so: "Pootle user guide" will become "Pootle user guide/nl/Pootle gebruikersgids" for Dutch. On the translated page will be boxes that refer to other translations of that page (with other words: it will build a "tree" of translated below the original page)
    Option 2 will place the references in the left column of the wiki

I think it will be necessary to first establish what is wanted.

Option 1 will be a new approach whilst option 2 continues with the old behaviour but will have probably no need for dedicated namespaces, since the translated files are placed below the original. This will however scatter the translations, not keeping them by Language as is in the Documentation-project

Option 2 will probably require modification of Template:Documentation/Languages to establish a new template with a path for Pootle related items als well as dedicated language spaces

And then, off course, there is option 3:

Simply putting the full name of the file, preceded by the ISO-code between square brackets
at the bottom of the page will put it in the left column of the wiki.
Like  [[de:DE/Documentation/BASIC_Guide]] for the page BASIC guide which is
in the namespace Documentation of the namespace DE
