What I forgot:

It would be fine when some of the translators of the Wiki add the 
(revision=xxx) parameter to their pages (I can't verify what revision a 
page really refers too except for German :-) When this is used one more 
pages, than probably the remaining ones will be updated step-by-step.

Best would be to check and update page to current revision and the set 
"revison=" to the current revision. In case you don't know the number:
  * You find it in Page history of english page,
  * Or set it to 1 and do a page "Preview", then you get the newest one 
displayed with the diffs :-)

The second method can also be used to find the correct older revision in 
case you don't have time to adapt to changes in English original. Simply 
increase revision and do preview until there are only changes not yet 
integrated in the current text.

Suggestions and improvements welcome.
