Multilanguage sidebar patch

This is a simple idea to get a custom translated sidebar. I don't know how to do it in another way, so I thinked to put a patch in includes/Skin.php.

With this patch, the sidebar source pages with translations are accessible at Mediawiki:Sidebar-LANG, where LANG=en,de,it,etc. The patch is tested in 1.15.1. 

# diff mw/includes/Skin.php mw-old/includes/Skin.php
1140c1140
<               global $wgMemc, $wgEnableSidebarCache, $wgSidebarCacheExpiry;
---
>               global $wgMemc, $wgEnableSidebarCache, $wgSidebarCacheExpiry, $wgLang;
1143c1143,1153
<               $key = wfMemcKey( 'sidebar', $this->getLanguage()->getCode() );
---
> //Insert patch here -->
>               $sidebar_name='sidebar' . '-' . $wgLang->getCode();
>
>               $sidebar_content = wfMsgForContent( $sidebar_name );
>               if ( wfEmptyMsg ( $sidebar_name,  $sidebar_content) ) {
>                       $sidebar_name='sidebar';
>               }
> //End patch <--
>
> //            $key = wfMemcKey( 'sidebar', $this->getLanguage()->getCode() );
>               $key = wfMemcKey( $sidebar_name, $this->getLanguage()->getCode() );
1154c1164,1165
<               $this->addToSidebar( $bar, 'sidebar' );
---
> //            $this->addToSidebar( $bar, 'sidebar' );
>               $this->addToSidebar( $bar, $sidebar_name );

Apply patch: add the code inside includes/Skin.php as shown below: 

	function buildSidebar() {
		global $parserMemc, $wgEnableSidebarCache, $wgSidebarCacheExpiry;
		global $wgLang;
		wfProfileIn( __METHOD__ );
 
		$key = wfMemcKey( 'sidebar', $wgLang->getCode() );
 
		if ( $wgEnableSidebarCache ) {
			$cachedsidebar = $parserMemc->get( $key );
			if ( $cachedsidebar ) {
				wfProfileOut( __METHOD__ );
				return $cachedsidebar;
			}
		}
 
		$bar = array();
 
//Insert patch here -->
		$sidebar_name='sidebar' . '-' . $wgLang->getCode();
 
		$sidebar_content = wfMsgForContent( $sidebar_name );
		if ( wfEmptyMsg ( $sidebar_name,  $sidebar_content) ) {
			$sidebar_name='sidebar';
		}
//End patch <--
 
		$lines = explode( "\n", wfMsgForContent( $sidebar_name ) );

Note:

You must install LanguageSelector extension. I've put same idea also here
