Just a little clarification:

Yes.
What I should have been clearer about below was that you can of course
combine the two and use the [[de:title]]-link syntax, but then also
define the interwiki to add the suffix (instead of the user having to do
BOTH, namely defining both the language directive, [[de: ]], AND the
language code again at the end of the title ( [[:de:title de]] ).
For this reason I suggested that the interwiki mechanism could insert
the last "de" for you (see the trailing /"$1 de" below, with or
without
the underscore):
You can of course (technically) do without the
de-namespace and instead
define the interwiki link to produce suffixes instead:
+----+---------------------------------------------+---+---+
| de |
http://www.example.com/wiki/index.php/$1_de | 1 | 0 |
But this solution wouldn't give the user the *option* of "turning off"
search from one (or more) languages. I think the Namespace solution
would be preferable if one plans to integrate the languages in the same
wiki (since it makes languages searchable optionally), but that's only
my opinion.
But as said, I still vote for the Namespace solution. =)
