this an english point of view :-()
We must make the localized wikis live. At present time there
only _one_ address given anywhere, that is opensuse.org.
so there are many ways to cope with this, the template is
the only one I can manage myself.
else could be _hudge_ langages links on the en front page or
automatic routing by browser langage consideration.
If incomplete translations should not be linked, not at all
one could be, wiki moves all the time, translations are
never finished.

not all the pages needs a translation link

and how the script can know that? I know little about
wikibots, but I beg they are server admin work??

I proposed the IW here with little answer so go on, as usual.
but this must be discussed (as we do now) and if possible by
all the translators. I understand en wiki english speaking
users have little use if this :-) - notice that this give
them the category of the pages at least translated once
Bear in mind that the en wiki will still be the
"international" one and the other ones deserve some help,
