Communal enabling of quality

Concerning the translations: I once made a suggestion on Meta a couple of years ago, but as with all Meta suggestions it did not go anywhere. I think translations of good and featured articles should be encouraged by all means. The problem is mostly to monitor the quality (not all projects, including en.wp, maintain high standards for FA and GA, and not all really good articles get selected since the authors do not bother about the status). We may think about bot monitoring the size of the articles, and if an article has been greatly improved and not reversed (to exclude vandalism) it gets checked manually and makes it to the list of articles for translation. This could be a Meta-wide list with individual projects encouraging the translation. Usually there are manu users willing to translate articles, they are just not sure where there is quality stuff.
