The problem here is... well, I want to read the German version of an
article, say. And down in the sidebar...

    * Deutsch
    * Deutsch
    * Español
    * Français
    * Nederlands
    * Português
    * Русский
    * Svenska

...how do I know which of the German articles is which? The system's
really set up to expect only one link...
