OK, but how would the parser (or a plugin) know that an original
page is also available in other languages? Your callback tag is
"only" a link from translated pages to original one. Maybe adding
language/internationalization marks in a page (men.txt) such as:
<i18n fr :fr:hommes>
<i18n de :de:menschen>
could be used by a i18n plugin to display an information on the men
page (original one) saying that the page is also available in
(translated to) french and german, with the lang info and fullpath
to the corresponding pages. This could even feed a tpl_i18n_link
that templates could use to decide where to display the "language"
information on pages and this, only for pages (originals) which have
associated translated pages.
