Jyothis:
I would like to point out that enwiki's 160,976 represents worldwide
users and not merely those from India, in case anyone misinterprets the
data :)

That probably explains it. I was wondering how you could be so casual
about man power to deal with such an event. If you look at our indic
wikipedias, We wouldnt see many hands to do the heavy lifting. For
some reason, many Indian wikipedians can work in en wiki, but wont
really bother to work in their own language wikipedias :-)
Look at a few examples below:
*Active users*

*en wiki - 160,976*
hi wiki - 237
ml wiki - 186
ta wiki 185
mr wiki 105
bpy wiki - two digits
gu wiki - two digit
kn wiki -two digits
or wiki - single digit
sa wiki - 35
pali - in two digits. I cant read that.
bh wiki - single digit

My home wiki is enwiki, but I'm mostly busy on meta these days,
co-ordinating English-Hindi projects.

In Tamil wiki too we're extremely concerned about
quality. That's why even GaneshBot was constrained. On
this issue, we're keeping an open mind and it's still
in a pilot stage.

While we welcome the efforts and contributions, all
wikis may not be equipped with enuf active users to
handle such a flood. if a flood of low quality
articles or translations come by, such projects may
take (much) longer to recover and regain the drop of
quality. While quantity benefits out of such a flood,
that may end up compromising the quality of the wiki.
It may not always in th interest of the local
community. Regards, Jyothis. Sent from my iPhone On

Can't we just go ahead normally? If these Google
guys make mistakes, we just correct them and go on. If
they resist, then explain or warn them?

There should be proper co-ordination between each
language community and the Google. In Malayalam
Wikipedia, we already tried collaborative translation
of some English Wiki articles 2 years back. But that
was a failure and we dropped that. One of the main
issue with word-to-word translation is that the entire
article will have the sentences constructed with
artificial words and phrases. The reader will run away
from that type of articles.
If there is no proper agreement between wiki
community and Google the community may resist. For the
sake of Google translation, Wikis should not not be
flooded with articles. Some wikis might be interested
in using this service to increase the article count.
But not all
