Arrgh, sorry about that.  pmwiki.org actually does the rough equivalent of:

    # get the name of the XLPage in the current group
    $xlpage = FmtPageName('$Group.XLPage', $pagename);

    # if the XLPage exists, load it
    if (PageExists($xlpage)) XLPage($xlpage, $xlpage);

The XLPage function doesn't really care if the first argument is
'fr', 'de', or whatever -- it's only there for the very rare
situation where an administrator might want to load additional
translations to a language that has already been loaded.
