A proposition:
1/ Translate on Meta the message "Tech News: {{{1}}}-{{{2}}}" (anywhere, for instance in Template:Tech header)
2/ Replicate by bot or by hand this message on each language wiki (WP, WS, etc.) into a template {{Tech News title}} containing the corresponding translation of "Tech News: {{{1}}}-{{{2}}}"
3/ Post the mass message with title "[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2014/07|{{subst:#ifexist:Template:Tech News title|{{subst:Tech News title|2014|07}}|Tech News: 2014-07}}]]" (perfect tweet: 140 characters :)

Each translated page has a title which is accessible in the Translations: namespace, which uses the sub-id "Page display title" instead of the numeric id of a translation unit in the source page, just before hte language code.
Yes. the problem is not to access the translation, but to post it.
When we were using EdwardsBot, we discussed the possibility of using a #switch for the title based on the wiki's {{CONTENTLANG}} (like we do for the message's body), but the limitation on the length of MediaWiki edit summaries prevented us from doing that.
We're now using MassMessage, but that limitation remains. I've tried to include the title in the body (the downside being that there would be a blank edit summary), but MassMessage doesn't allow to send messages without a title.
Which brings me back to: If someone has ideas about how to do it, I'm happy to try. :)
