Actually the script wasn't used to generate those pages, they were just 
copied from the associated wikipedias.

All this is fixed now. The "Wiktionary:" prefix still links to the 
English Wiktionary, but a new "wikt:" prefix has been introduced which 
links laterally to the wiktionary of the same language. An extra feature 
has been added to MediaWiki allowing "diagonal" linking, with the help 
of redirects. A link reading [[wikt:fi:kukkala]] on the German Wikipedia 
will link to http://de.wiktionary.org/fi:Kukkala, which will redirect to 
http://fi.wiktionary.org/Kukkala .

It uses the same language as the associated Wikipedia

It's probably more relevant to foundation-l.

This was just a caching problem.

Fixed as noted above.

I'll look into that.
