I understand your frustation, I'm french and no write well en others
languages. It's simple. Like I say in an other message :
- create your doc the "natural" (english, without prefix) page, and put
  your french version, with a not saying "waiting for translation".
- create the fr: localized page, with your doc.
- at the bottom of the english one, add a note : original document
  fr:url written by Didier Spaier http://..../fr:url

Imho it is clean.
