To make it easier i've flipped the configuration, cirrusAltLanguage defaults to yes, it can be disabled with cirrusAltLanguage=no. This basically means the feature is enabled if you type into the search box. We have german and russian indexes configured. The russian one isn't a complete import yet though (trying one more time..its up to 50k docs and died at 380k before). I've also put a temporary hack in place so Special:Search will generate search results for local titles that don't actually exist.

This make the links now:

Alright! Thanks gents. :-)
