Interesting viewpoint, Emmanuel! I am always fascinated to know what others think I might be interested in, even if the "other" is just a bot. Like Sam I was delighted, and I might even be prompted to do a translation (though not one of the ones they suggested, but an article which I made myself and is in the same general area). I disagree by the way, that each Wikipedia has to decide on their own what is "encyclopedia worthy" in that language. I think the projects need to start trusting each other more and be open to *aggressive* translation efforts as a way to educate new (multi-lingual) editors, and also to promote a neutral point of view. Let's wikibomb everybody aggressively with translation suggestions!
