No, not as in case 2, as case 2 are normal pages with a prefix. Case 3 also wants a special functionality. Would it be ok if 'category/west' were an alias for 'category/east'? That's it: 'category/east:Foo' contents are the same as 'category/west:Foo', and viceversa.
I haven't looked at the Language.php files for awhile, but I remember that the English names for these namespaces were included as aliases for the native names, so that "Image:Wiki.png" redirects to "Imagen:Wiki.png" etc. I'd imagine that's also possible for the Category: namespace.
Another possibility: I'm not sure what the two translations are, but if they can be abbreviated the same way (that is, if they start similarly), you could just use the abbreviation as the Category: namespace's name.
