All right.  Right now I'm working on a wiki where most of the content is
relatively language-independent, and am using templates with {{int:}} to
make standard headings translate along with the user interface, in order to
make the content accessible to more people.  A {{USERLANG}} (or whatever)
magic word, analogous to {{NUMBEROFPAGES}} etc., [would have] helped make
the process slightly easier (and the &lang=xx URL option even more so, by
making this available even to non-logged-in users, or at least making it
possible to demonstrate it to them without requiring them to create an
account first).
