Localization note
The extension tries to pick the right translation depending on the [country-xx] whiteboard marker or ccTLD of the site we're dealing with. (Picking the right translation is based on the lang attributes in the Wiki page's markup - every letter should be marked up with pre lang="xx". I'm not sure if I've added all required country code to language code mappings, so shout if you see bugs).
