Exactly. If we wanted that we could adjust mediawiki to fall through
to the enwp text. ;)
and If we wanted a machine translation we wouldn't bother with the
whole multiple wikis thing.
Machine translation has a useful, and under-used place to play in the
development of smaller Wikipedias.
If this is "machine translation with humane review", I might agree
with you. But just a bunch of automatically translated articles to
whatever topic won't help the reader much...
