Then users see, if an article is already existent in their or other language and they can translate one from another language,. so the bi-languists can help to get the number of articles bigger, and then other users in the original language can complete or expand the article.

This would become very large, annoying and unhelpful for almost all
users of the wiki. Perhaps something that can be switched on by those
who want to see whether their own wiki has a given article? That may
be possible just in personal CSS.
