For such a small wiki, Do you really want it? It does complicate the subpage management workflow for some simple functions.

Yes, it would be useful for providing documentation pages (like Help: space) in other languages for agents.

Eh, I'd rather see OTRS pick up VisualEditor (which is incompatible with the Translate extension...) than the Translate extension. It's a bit of a rough user experience. However the Translate extension _is_ supported on the cluster and if the OTRS admins want it (after consulting with the relevant stakeholders), it's fine to enable there.

This happens to be MediaWiki configuration related to OTRS rather than OTRS configuration related to Wikimedia, so this goes into "Site requests" with the "shell" keyword.

You would have to do without a translation memory if the content is private.

Who? The OTRS admins, the admins on OTRS wiki, the end users on OTRS wiki?

From what i've heard the end users (aka the otrs agents that use the wiki) haven't even been really asked for consensus…

They actually do work, I just overlooked something and told Steinsplitter that they don't seem to work...

Just to make it clear, {{autotranslate}} ({{int:Lang}}), LangSelect (+ {{mld}}), LanguageSelection, LangSwitch have nothing to do with the Translate extension.
