Hi Arnav,
You are asking at the right place.
As far as i understand, a Centralized gadgets repository is being worked on, and it is supposed to solve this issue in an elegant way, but i don't know what its actual status is.
If i'm wrong about assuming that it's being worked on, then the JavaScript code has to be copied and localized manually, which would be tedious.
I also have to note that it's rather unusual that refToolbar is completely integrated into the English Wikipedia - it doesn't even appear as a gadget that one can enable or disable. This makes many people think that it's a MediaWiki feature or extension, although actually it is neither.

Hello everyone,
On English Wikipedia in editing window, Reftoolbar is available for every user by default, which includes button called "Cite". On clicking this a drop down menu comes with Template, where one can select the particular template like Cite Web, Cite News, Cite Book etc.
And after selecting one, the window pops up and the editor fills in the details needed for the particular citation. This makes new editors job easy while putting the proper citations for the articles and need not worry about the syntax of Wiki markup.
As far as I know, this thing is not available for Indic Wikipedia, can this be made possible on Indic too ? I am specially interested in Gujarati (GU) Wikipedia, having this Citation Template and toolbar makes editors job lot more handy and easy.
This Mailing list was introduced to me by Amir in one Translation sprint organized in Pune, India a few weeks ago. Do I need to file a bug report on bugzilla for this or what should I do ? Please do guide me.
Please ignore this message if I am asking something irrelevant at wrong place and please do tell me where to ask for it.
