Naming Collisions
It is possible that two different languages has pages with the same name. As example Slovakian and Czech languages use a word "Novinky" as "News". To resolve collision you need to make existed page disambiged and create separate pages for each language.
Example: Page Novinky is disambig page and it links to pages Novinky (Český) and Novinky (Slovenčina).
