Full ack. The German Wikimedia Association settled at meta and not at
de.wikipedia because we do not want to be seperated. We startet to write
short abstracts for german pages at meta. Naming problems can be solved.
For instance [[Merchandising]] could point to [[Merchandising (en)]] and
[[Merchandising (de)]]. What is missing is the possibility to change the
interface's language but not dividing the pages.
