Hi Olya,
Sorry for the late reply, but I just wondered if you were aware of
Wikitrans[1], which "provides machine-translated versions of Wikipedia
articles, completely linked and searchable in the target language, as
well as cross language simultaneous Wikipedia searches".
It doesn't use Wikidata, but on the other hand use some formalized
grammar of targeted languages. For what I know the translation software
is not open source, but it might be interesting to have a wikimedia
hosted backup of translated versions and links toward them in Wikidata,
then maybe usable in Wikipedia.
Let me know if this kind of late feedback is welcome/undesired
Cheers,
Mathieu

Dear Wikidata community,
We're working on a project called Wikibabel to machine-translate parts
of Wikipedia into underserved languages, starting with Swahili.
In hopes that some of our ideas can be helpful to machine translation
projects, we wrote a blogpost about how we prioritized which pages to
translate, and what categories need a human in the loop:

Rumor has it that the Wikidata community has thought deeply about
information access. We'd love your feedback on our work. Please let us
know about past / ongoing machine translation related projects so we
can learn from & collaborate with them.
Best regards,
Olya & the Wikibabel crew
