   That's all no problem.

I guess your purposed solution solves it, but it seems quite complex.

What would one do about the "language" list (i.e. the list of
languages that refer to translated versions of the same page)?  They
differ between pages, and they should contain the translated name of
the language.  So one would have to build that list somehow; maybe one
could just map the language part of the file name to each language,
and have a small list (lang.list), and extract the information from
there.

Cheers.
