Indeed, the farm use case is important, I propose to focus on implementing
the fall-back from GLOBAL to WIKI visibility for translations and leave the
Menu Application open to subwikis.

Hi Costi,
This is closely related with the discussion we had on XWIKI-12736.
Applying the same mecanism used for macro scope to translations is
definitely the best way to mitigate this issue, but not the simplest one.
Hope it helps.
