First of all, excuse me for not writing in dutch, especially since my post is about internationalization :-).
There are lots of articles in nl:Wikipedia which have the same name as articles in other Wikipedias, but are _not_ linked by an Inter-Wiki-Link (e.g. nl-en: ~1500 articles, nl-sv: ~1600 articles, as of last month).
This articles have been listed for many language combinations by de:Benutzer:SirJective. But not all articles with identical names are about the same subject, so human work is needed to decide whether an Interwiki-Link can be automatically generated by a bot. In order to make this decision easy and comfortable, there is a brilliant tool called Interwiki-Link-Checker written by de:Benutzer:Flacus.
You might want to check the FAQ at http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Flacus/Wikipedia_Interwiki-Link-Checke... or just try it at http://www.flacus.de/wikipedia/Interwiki-Link-Checker/index-en.html
A translation of the FAQ and the graphical user interface of the tool into dutch needs to be done, too. Translations should go to: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Flacus/Wikipedia_Interwiki-Link-Checke...
I didn't find an internationalization page in nl:wikipedia to insert this text into (thanks to my not so brilliant ability to read dutch, I'm sure), so if any of you would put this text into the right place, this would be great.
Thanks for your time and (maybe even) help, I can just invite you to try the tool, it's fun and you're reading (and editing) quite a lot of stuff you wouldn't stumble upon otherwise.
Cheers, de:Benutzer:Mdangers nl:Gebruiker:Mdangers
