I have noticed this bug already a while ago, and found a solution;
however, I don't have my PGP key registered at the moment so I could
not submit it (if someone knows how to resolve that, please let me
know!)

In titletranslate.py there is a line:

                   if ( page is None ) or ( ( newcode != sitelang )
and ( not family.interwiki_forwarded_from ) ):

this should be:

                   if ( page is None ) or ( ( newcode != sitelang )
and ( not pywikibot.getSite().family.name in
family.interwiki_forwarded_from ) ):

Making this change should resolve the problem of not being able to
give any hints.
