Like I said before, If I can get some template support on commons, Ive got a translation tool that uses one of googles APIs for translating. I just need some assistance with figuring out how to best integrate it into commons. But I do have a on demand mass translation tool.

Basically, this will (on the search page only!) look at the last query run (the one currently in the edit box), check several language editions of Wikipedia for articles from the individual words (in this case, "Pferd" and "Schach"), count how many exist, pick the language with the most hits (in this case, German), and put a link to link to Nikola's tool under the search box. The link pre-fills the source language and query in the tool, which automatically opens the appropriate search page.
Again, I would suggest using Google (or an alternative with open data, if one exists) instead of trying to reinvent the wheel:
http://translate.google.com/#auto%7Cen%7CPferd%20Schachhttp://translate.google.com/#auto%7Cen%7CPferd%20Schach http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlanguage/documentation/#Detect
It might support less languages then we have wikipedias for, but I'm pretty sure it would give better results for the major ones.
