The problem with that is that unless you encode all links with
&uselang=XX, the interface will "jump" back to default (English) after
just one click. It could be argued that that effect is disorienting,
confusing and unexpected (there is no clear way to understand "what
you did" to make the localised text disappear, nor "how to get it
back").

So, IMO that is a very poor hack that is no substitute for a proper
solution. (We tried to confront this problem at Commons. :) No good
solution yet. More tech is needed.)
