So you want to translate the parameter for the template? Changing the label makes sense, but changing the parameter could lead to more problems that the very small one of personal preference it solves.

Using a subdomain, e.g. ru.dev isn't feasible for a number of reasons, but mainly because they're separate wikis. Keeping translations on subpages is significantly easier, hence that's how we do it.
