Well wiki is suposed to come from fast. Pedia probably comes from the
greek for something like "general education". So the direct
translation into english would be something like "fast general
education"

A short defintion of wiki in english would be hard but soemthing like:

Editable general education /changeable general education

might be one aproach

collaborative general education

might be another

Other than that just tranliterate an accept that there may be other
reasons people don't want to work on it (after all our welsh language
wikipedia only has 4,563 articles)
