The use of translated page names is optional.  If you wish to mirror the names 
from the English version, you may do so.  If a translator wishes to put forth 
the effort to translate page names, they are welcome to do so.  It isn't hard 
to rename a page, but updating the links can take some effort.

The wiki is only capable of automatically translating the names of built-in 
pages.  Pages that are added with unique names cannot be automatically 
translated.  This must be done manually or not at all.

The GetVal macro is only used for pulling in definitions, not translations.
