Also another approach thanks Binaris for mentioning it! The solution
with 'Extension:Interlanguage' should be definately the way to go, what
about a reply from the developers? I found a request on bugzilla [1]
stating (in comment 94);

"It's currently targeted to receive a more comprehensive review around
March 2012 at which point we'll get a good sense of how realistic a
near term roll-out of that is."

...so this may still took a while... :(

Regarding the Wikidata, http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiData_WMDE
project; as it seams to be it is somehow very unclear about what this
exactly is (but may this is just my problem ;)... As far as I can see
it should provide an API to give access to all wikipedia content/data.
But please correct and extend my statements here...
