yes. This problem occurs, when there is no redirect to the original
English page name present in the localised wiki:
English original: My page
German translation: Meine Seite
In this case, German will not show up in the language menu.
English original: My page
German translation: Meine Seite
German redirect: My page -> Meine Seite
This would be the correct way to set up the localised page.

I do not think this is a tools/method matter. Neither a tool nor a human
being or a template will know there is a connection between "My page"
and "Meine Seite" without the redirect. All different language wikis
are completely independent from each other.
How does wikipedia handle this?
