Current Behavior:
In a multilingual setup, I can auto-create md|mdx files in all other defined languages. After these are created, the button is basically useless.

Desired/Extended Behavior:
In our case it's a pretty common scenario that we are toggling between different locales of one and the same page. I imagine the current i18n-button being extended to handle both cases:

  • If files in other locales are not yet existent, create them.
  • If files in other locales are existent, open/toggle them.

The only small detail (UX consideration) here is: What if there are more than two locales? – I would suggest in this case, a dropdown/menu (QuickPick) opens that lets the user decide which locale to create and/or open.
