[Foundation-l] Wikisource's translation efforts, Babel and Translate extensions

[Amir E. Aharoni]

Babel is great and i'd love to see it enabled everywhere, but there's
a little odd bug that should be fixed:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23034

I tried to fix it myself, but got lost in the language code tables.

Another i18n extension that has matured recently is Interlanguage:

Enabling it will:
* stop the countless interwiki bot edits and clean up Recent Changes
* allow resolving interlanguage links conflicts easily and efficiently
* help clean this backlog:
