Nothing of the sort is forthcoming in the current design; it's simply not practical. However, increased multi-language support is a requested feature for the upcoming major redesign.

Alright, this is a bit of a weird request.
As part of the French translation team, it appears that we may soon run into a problem concerning accents. So far, we have used the Wikiword Customization tool in order to add accents to page names (for example : Séries Télé). However, that tool does not take the tag in account ("Fr/" in this case). The problem is that pages like "Theatre" or "Deconstruction" would translate to "Théâtre" and "Déconstruction". If we customize the wikiword, the accent will appear on English pages ; if we don't, the French pages will be gramatically incorrect.
This leaves us with the following options :
So, finally, here is my question : would it be possible to add some exceptions to the wikiword system ? I'm not asking to change the way the entire thing works, but if it would be possible to make exceptions for certain words associated to certain namespaces. The idea would be that, whenever we need such a change, we could make a request directly to an admin to have a word like "Fr/Theatre" showing up differently (aka with the accents) than it does with other namespaces.
If that requires too much change on the coding side, we'll go with one of the aforementioned solutions. But, hey, never hurts to ask.
Thanks in advance for answering.
