I do have good news, though: Wikipedia has recently unified their user databases, so you can enable your account for all the languages (though you still have a separate user and talk page for each one).

I always felt that it is somewhat weird to have this strong separation between e.g. en.wikipedia.org and de.wikipedia.org (with different user databases etc). But this certainly puts that into a different perspective.
