No, I'm just suggesting looking up the specific name.
apparently doesn't work, and exact matching strikes me as too slim a
chance. For example, that would not have worked for your example, [[Tatranska Lomnica]].
Actually, it would, I didn't spell it precisely. There's an accent on the third a - see where [[en:...]] redirects to.

Apparently, you haven't seen my "Missing images" tool: http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/missing_images.php (still working on the CSV mode :-)
Oh, I don't doubt it. I'm suggesting integrating these "tools" to create "software" :) 5 different tools is good. One piece of great software that does all that is even better.
So, basically, I'm thinking of software that attempts to solve the general problem of "this article has no images. Whence can we procure some?" Possible sources include commons, interwikis, flickr, and potentially dozens of other sources.
