Description:
When you use of the foreign language alias instead of Special:Allpages , you will need many more steps and clicks with your mouse before reaching the search result.

The French alias of "Allpages" is "Toutes_les_pages"

Please compare the two following searches :

A) with French alias

http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AToutes_les_pages&from=char&to=&namespace=0

B) with English

http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AAllPages&from=char&to=&namespace=0

The first Search, using the French language alias does not provide you directly with the search result and asks you to refine your search instead. This is a waste of time.

To my mind, although I am generally in favor of internationalization, reverting back to the mediawiki version with no foreign language alias at all would be better than the present situation. Internationalization should not be made at the expense of needing one or two more mouse clicks to find a search result.
