Translate the MixedNamespaceSearchSuggestions extension if it is available at translatewiki.net

MixedNamespaceSearchSuggestions makes the search box autocomplete terms matching page names from content namespaces in addition to full page names. The namespace name is stripped from each title and shown in a byline next to it.

The extension was originally thought for wikis having many similar namespaces, where the user can't be expected to be able to prefix the correct namespace when searching for a title. $wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault is ignored and namespaces in $wgContentNamespaces are searched instead.
