I made it a bit more sensible. You can now access these wikis by using their two character or three character identifiers, as defined in the ISO 639 standard (http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/IG/ert/iso639.htm). Note that I have not added all of the languages from te webpage above, only thos listed below. You can now access the pages at any one of many different urls. For example, the chinese wiki is available at zh.wikipedia.com, zho.wikipedia.com, chi.wikipedia.com, and chinese.wikipedia.com. They all point to the same data, so any url is as good as the nex. However, the "official" url is the one with the two character code (zh.wikipedia.com in this example). Hope this works for everyone.

Toan and I added 9 new other-language wikis to the mix. So, now you are all welcome to use:
catalan.wikipedia.com chinese.wikipedia.com esperanto.wikipedia.com french.wikipedia.com deutsche.wikipedia.com hebrew.wikipedia.com italian.wikipedia.com japanese.wikipedia.com portuguese.wikipedia.com spanish.wikipedia.com russian.wikipedia.com
We are aware that the naming convention is wrong. Why use "Deutsche" instead of "German" in one place, and "Spanish" instead of "Espanol" in another? Simple. We just don't know the correct words or even the characters to use in many cases. So, tell us what it *should* be, and we'll make it so...
