+Actually, we didn't plan to manage l10n that way, but by having
+distinct wiki instances per locale (wiki.mageia.org/en/,
+wiki.mageia.org/fr/ and so on) and interwiki-link them. The same way
+Wikipedia does it actually (and we used to at MDV as well).
+
+So using this extension means a significant change in how we lay things out.
+
+I guess each solution has its own benefit, so how would these compare?
