It should be an error to link those two articles, but in reality links
to a section in another language are quite common.

I don't really have a clever solution up my sleeve, but putting the
links in one place will likely make these situations easier to handle
but allowing the editors to focus on content and ontology, without
worrying about updating a long list of links in a lot of projects (and
no, bots don't always help).
