Is this possible with Mediawiki and some extensions:

For example, consider a user who prefers french content...types in this: 
www.host.com/page/Integration

-ideally the URL path for a given page stays the same (as displayed in the 
browser) - to avoid a redirect 
-system checks users preferred language (say by ACCEPT_LANGUAGE header) - in 
this case its 'fr'
-wiki looks up french version of the given page, if it exists it displays that 
content 
-if the french doesnt exist, it displays the english content
-user would type the page name appended with /fr to force-edit the french 
version (to create it)
-skin would still use users language for localized content for the layout 
(non-media wiki parts like header, footer, side navigation menu etc.)

Similar BUT NOT THE SAME as the Extension:Multilang, 
Extension:LanguageSelector, Extension:Polyglot, Extension:AutoLanguage 
extensions I see out there.

Is this possible to "fight" the wiki in bringing up a default page when one 
does not exist (instead of the mediawiki built-in behavior to bring up the page 
allowing the user to create it).

Any ideas welcome!
