Great for bringing this up Samuel! We really need to find a solution and apply
it so that people are directed to the most helpful page for them.

I've copied your page to our wikispace, at:

  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/Wikipages

Once we finalize the discussion we can write there some guidelines for the wiki
translation.

I added another approach: create a subpage listing translations and linking from
all pages there, so that all localized pages link to all the rest. I used a
table and some CSS to style it up (which could be moved to our CSS file
screen-common.css).

We need to decide on the separation character for the page names: Blah.fr_FR,
Blah_fr_FR, or Blah-fr_FR?
