It helps. I'm already doing that. That's why I asked the second quiestion at the bottom of the message (more than a question, it was a random thought), to make it more... automatic. There is also an inconvenience with subpages, I think.
After I sent the message, I saw there was a (template?) named "DISPLAYTITLE", that was suposed to do exactly what I asked, but that is marked as "doesn't work at all" (with two open bugs on the bugzilla). I think I'll use either the redirects or the part of DISPLAYTITLE that works (on my installation, it only fails to write the <title> on the html head, the rest seems to fairly work well), and try to fix that couple of bugs...
Thanks.

You're asking how to solve this problem in a specific way that would be hard, instead of just asking how to solve the overall problem, which happens to have an easy solution :-)
Make redirect pages. `Logica' without the accent points to `L'ogica' with the accent (I have an English keyboard too :-) etc. When people type in Logica in the URL, they get the accented page; they can use [[Logica]] or [[Logica|L'ogica]] or [[L'ogica]] for accents ('o representing the acute accented o), though the first will give in-page text "Logica" instead of "L'ogica"; it will Just Work, hopefully.
I'm pretty sure this is done by at least some of the foreign language Wikipedias.
If you have many such pages, you may be able to automate the creation of redirects; hook page creation and renaming, perhaps.
Hope this helps.
