Content on different Wikipedias

For three years now I've been playing with analysing interwikis on pl wikipedia, and a list of missing Polish biographical entries on en Wikipedia (my findings). Interestingly, the while all wikis are increasing in size, the % gap between English and non-English wikipedias does not appear to be shrinking. As such, it appears that content of all Wikipedias could be significantly expanded by encouraging translation (roughly, I estimate that about 1/3 of Polish Wikipedia should be translated into English - and of course a much higher proportion of en Wikipedia should be translated into Polish). I'd suggest employing students learning foreign languages, as part of the Wikipedia:School and university projects initiative, by encouraging teachers to have the students translate articles. --Piotrus 21:06, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
