The importance of interlange links should not be understated; having them makes it very easy for bi/multi-lingual contributors to update the same article in two or more languages ("cross-fertilization"). Another advantage is that when any language gets increased traffic, this trickles down to the other languages via the inter-language links.
Cross-fertilization. This is such a great idea ! I think it needs much more publicity wherever approporiate. I think we might put a line on main pages and newbie pages asking and motivating bi/multilingual Wikipedists to work on several language versions in parallel.
