BoltWire is designed to be setup any way you want. It is flexible and powerful--but it is not pre-built. If you can find a solution that does what you want already you might wish to use it. If you want to be able to build about anything, it might be worth the effort to learn BoltWire.
BoltWire has powerful search & reporting capabilities so you could certainly generate a list of all your pages and which languages exist or not. But again, you will have to set that up yourself. It's not hard, you just have to learn the BoltWire syntax.
