Many reference sites have been happy to do this, and personally I don't see any problem doing it piecemeal, one language at a time, unless and until there is a more efficient solution available.
I think at this point it's clear enough to a reference site why it is in their interest to do so, and they are often happy to pay for solid advice on implementation. So there isn't really any need for a formal, WMF endorsed approach.
