Just a short note here... The complexity of the task, which I think I comprehend, is so significant, that I made the lamest mistake from my own perspective. Please note that the page Names of Wikimedia languages [1] assumes that there is only one variant of Serbian (although some languages have full four written varieties in Serbian: Немачка / Nemačka / Њемачка / Njemačka). So, yes, ContentTranslation. (To be honest, one of my priorities should be to actually see how it works...) Besides the tools (and I think there are some other tools, as well), there is a lot of documentation, which should be gathered inside of one user friendly howto. Creating correlations between Wikimedia projects data and data about languages is not a simple task. In relation to the languages, we know which information we need, but we often don't have enough of data; in relation to Wikimedia, we have data, but we often don't know what to do with it. And the most important danger of dealing with such sets is not to have enough data and don't know what to do with it. While the lack of reliable data about languages could be fixed through necessary approximations, while searching for more relevant data, the part which says that we should know what we should do with data could be easily fixed by sharing the ideas here. That's the main reason why I am sharing here work in progress. (Now back to linking languages: 208th Wikipedia edition by size, Karachay-Balkar...)
