LS,
Tim Starling wondered why we want to use so many messages in wiktionary. The reason is
that the same article can be copied to another wiktionary (that contains the native
content for the same messages). This will result in a correct article for the word. As an
example the word [[Nederlands]], [[Engels]], [[English]] can be found in the Japanese
wiktionary.
Another example is when a translation has been added to a participating wiktionary, this
translation can be added to all other participating wiktonaries. Yes, a bot needs to be
written to do that, but that is the intention. Example; I have added _loads_ of new
translations for the word [[English]] and [[Dutch]] on the en:wiktionary. (Originating
from Timwi's website and then nl:wiktionary)
Thanks,
GerardM
