Is it possible to call Modules from other wikis, similar to how Global Modules (require("Dev:ModuleName")) work?

I've been (slowly) learning Lua for a few months to build a database system on our wiki thats now nearly functional (a few pages are using it already). I was recently approached by someone wanting to translate the wiki into another language. It seems the best way to do that is starting a language-specific wiki and linking them together. Using my Lua system on this new wiki could be the quickest way to get things up and running by keeping the processing functions and translating templates and database text values.

Ideally I would call the processing modules from the primary wiki to avoid duplication and maintain consistency, like we could do with shared images. I assume that I'll need to copy everything over, but figured I'd check here first in case it is possible to share modules. It would save a lot of time in the long run by not needing to update across every site if we end up with even more translations.
