an English page to add the correct translation of the title should be
considered a useful contribution.

Databases are independent and (with exception of images) it would be
better if they stayed so (they don't even use the same software).

If not optimized, it might be pretty heavy performance hit.

Structure of Wikipedias is not the same. You can't really know the
structure for sure before articles are there. So these links may end
pointing to blank pages while real content already exists under some
other title. Even in seemingly trivial cases like titles that happen
to be proper names, different middle names, diactrics and
disambiguation policy may lead to many misses.
