To this end, we might as well spawn a new project... A project that
takes the en wikipedia data dump and passes it through Babelfish or
the like.
Or, we could have an option on the edit page. "import from: ", where
you could specify the wiki that you want to import from, the source
language, the destination language (or no translation whatsoever). It
could load the machine-translated text into the edit window.
Just a thought...

Just wondering - how much would it cost to hire
translators
that would translate all contents of English Wikipedia to
some 20 or so languages ? Common sense suggests that translating
is much easier than developing anew, yet we keep doing it the hard way.
I'm not saying that translated English Wikipedia should replace
other 'pedias, but these translations could be used as sources
for them.
Any estimates in manhours or cash ?
