Does the Special:MyLanguage support multiple languages? If not, I think it ought, it would be a good fallback chain.

The specific need is that I want to set the 'Mobile-frontend-terms-url' message to '//m.wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Terms_of_Use' via the WikimediaMessages extension, so that people clicking the 'Terms of Use' link at the bottom of the page will get sent to the Terms of Use in their own language. Right now, wiki administrators have to override this message locally to point to the correct translation (after checking to see if it actually exists).
(Added this information to the bug as well.)

Today, Kaldari wanted to have translate enabled on foundationwiki so that Special:MyLanguage was available, but that would fall afoul of bug:44871 [1]. This is not a unique request, fundraising also has some use for MyLanguage features on wikis that don't have (and wont have) translate.
Are there any concerns with separating out that special page into it's own extension? The one that immediately jumps to mind is how the i18n team bundles translate.
Hi.
I read your post and https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44871#c19 and still can't figure out what Kaldari wants to do. Can someone explain why Special:MyLanguage is needed on wikimediafoundation.org?
I'm also a little confused about the reference to "Extension:Collection" in the subject line. Did you mean "Extension:Translate"? (Also, its. :P)
Putting "Special:MyLanguage"-type functionality in MediaWiki core seems fine to me. It just maps a user's language preference to a language code subpage, right? So "Special:MyLanguage/Foo" for someone who's specified that she speaks Spanish would redirect to "Foo/es".
