This articles have been listed for many language combinations by de:user:SirJective. But not all articles with identical names are about the same subject, so human work is needed to decide whether an Interwiki-Link can be automatically inserted by a bot. In order to make this decision easy and comfortable, there is a brilliant tool called Interwiki-Link-Checker written by de:Benutzer:Flacus.
This is pretty fun (and surprisingly easy to do, even if you speak neither language - it's amazing how quickly you can guess if two articles are on the same topic, assuming you have even a passing grasp of the alphabet or vocabulary...). But dear goodness, it's *slow*...

Regarding the slowness, in general the tool itself appears to be fast enough for me, most of the time. I actually use it without being logged in, so I suppose the Dutch Proxies are my friends and I get lots of cached pages. "Guessing" unknown languages is lots of fun, if you know at least one germanic and one romanic language, you can grasp quite a lot of meaning. My ability to understand swedish and norwegian is probably comparable to a 1.6 year old native speaker, that's enough for me ;-). Thanks for trying it, Marc Dangers de:Mdangers
