Description
When translating docs into other languages (Czech, in my case) it would be nice to have links to all other existing translations of the same doc page. In some regions people are likely to know also other languages beside English, and sometimes the non-English doc pages are more informative than the English original.
At present, only links to English docs work by default, inter-lang linking to other languages have to be manually enabled for every language version of the documentation (see MDLSITE-456) – and then manually maintained.
Could the possibility of maintaining inter-lang linking of all the localized doc pages automatically (perhaps by a robot) be probed?

Thanks for the idea Dan. My +1 for using a wikimedia bot for this task. We shall explore the wikimedia community if they already have such robot (I am pretty sure they have, or at least wikipedia has such solutions). Eloy, any objections against using wiki bots at our docs site?
To clarify - my understanding of wikibots is that it is a plain PHP scripts that would run every night or so and would automatically add the links to other existing translations. Please excuse me if I am wrong.
