One idea I tried and cannot make it work is
create $:/language/ru-RU/plugins/vendor/name/Note/Text
\define translate(title)
<$wikify name="location"
text="""$:/language/{{{[title{$:/language}removeprefix[$:/languages/]]}}}/plugins/vendor/name/$title$""">
<<location>>
<$wikify>
\end
<<translate Note/Text>>
The generated link to translation tiddler is correct (it opens the right
tiddler on click), but I cannot transclude it.
Best regards,
iilyak
