zwiki has dtml scripting, which in turn uses python. So if any python
developer is available we could put one line at the top of our
documents that would automatically point to all existing translations.

At least that is how i understand python scripting. 

Off-course we do need a good and logical naming-scheme (so that the
script will find the docs)!
