Can I now redirect [[en:xyz]] to [[de:xyz]] and back, keeping the system 
busy?

Also, I don't see any reason why one would redirect to another language. 
If one reads the en wikipedia, I doubt s/he wants to be redirected to, 
say, a chinese article. IMHO that should be restricted to wikipedia, 
meta and the 9-11 site.
