What kind of broken links are you talking about? If they are to the main page, then whoever goes there can simply click on the "English" link with no confusion whatsoever. And if you're talking about the http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/something links, they all redirect to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/something.
