Sometimes when viewing a Wikipedia entry I am interested on seeing the related entry for the counter part for an English entry to the counter part entry in other language.
One use example is: an entry for television in English and I want to look on the counter part entry for television in the German Wikipedia. Note that I admit that most entries between language are copied verbatim and translated only to the other language. But there are some entries that are unique for a culture.
Example: an entry about tea on the English Wikipedia may discuss worldwide tea topics (British tea, Indian, Asian) while the tea entry for chines or Japanese Wikipedia would focus on local use of tea, importance in ceremony and culture.
If you're bilingual, you can search the Tea entry for Japanese but if you're not, you cannot look for it.
I just want to know if wikipedia.org has any project for doing this or other open source project related to this. Note that this is not about translating a page (this can be done using any translation tool like Google Translate) but relating entries per wikipedia.org language.

Wikipedia:Translate us is perhaps the project you're looking for from the encyclopaedia. But really it's more of a "heads up" and "where to start" for people who want to contribute a translation for another language or back into English.
In particular it lists steps that you'll go through to translate. Some of which include:
So Wikipedia has more of a guideline than an appointed committee on these efforts.
