I was just about to ask about this as well. Is there
(or could there be),
say, a magic URL string to append, like &lang=fr , to force the fr UI to be
displayed?
There is not. Hypothetically something could be added with some effort.
Maintaining it across invocations would probably require some cookie /
session work, and you'd need to be careful about cache integrity.
In a similar vein, is there a magic word that
automatically returns the
current interface language code?
The _content_ of pages is immutable, and will never differ based on the
user interface language setting. (Only a very few user options affect
the output of the wiki -> HTML transformation, and we're working hard to
eliminate them completely because of the trouble they cause.) This goes
doubly for things containing links, categories, images, etc: anything
that is kept track of cannot change or you'll have database corruption
on your hands.
We already have huge troubles maintaining database integrity in the face
of date and time variables and templates.
