I wholeheartedly agree.
Possible additions to this idea are:
* If, for instance, on an English page, a link is provided to a page
that has no English version, it could link to a page like you mentioned,
but also (within parentheses) give the available languages as links to
the corresponding translations
* On the "not available as this language" page, add an "or create a
translation" link in addition to the "edit" link
* An important challenge is how to keep the translations in sync. It
would be nice if the system could automatically indicate in some way
that certain parts of certain pages are out of sync with translations.
If we require translations to have the same structure (sections,
paragraphs, ...) then this is easily doable. Then we can provide
translation aids as well, i.e., put the page you are translating and the
translation next to each other, section by section, paragraph by paragraph
my 2 cents...
