I didn't realise you were also involved in WLM, Nemo.
Yes, I actually intend to use it for the WLM website.
Some of the messages that would be interesting to translate would be
terms like Contest, Participate, Rules, Monuments, News, Donate...
(instead of translating them ourselves and -presumably- other chapters too)

If it was going to an extension, it could provide a parserfunction
listing the participating countries of each year, in order to give it a
bit of code, but little more. It would mostly be messages.


Regarding the translations, there is some rewriting on the wiki, so
translation to code «xy» of page [[Foo Bar]] is saved as  [[Foo Bar
(xy)]]. This works fine as far as a translation to that
language exists. In case it doesn't, I wanted to show a like that
instead of the generic "There's no page with this name".
I can obtain the (short) list of translations with a query such
page_title LIKE 'Foo Bar (%'. But I'd like to fetch the text from TWN.
Alternatively, I could put that page search code in an extennsion, but
it's probably too specific for being useful to anyone else.
