That said there gotta be some balance though. It is much more effort to translate something into every language that interested people might use, that is, if people who can translate are willing to spend the effort at all. Learning a common language has opened up an enormous realm of knowledge that many other languages can't come close (see for example the English Wikipedia vs. other languages' Wikipedia, both in article count and in the length of each article).

You can probably put a Chinese math paper through google translate and get decent output. This sort of thing could be built into google scholar, maybe even finer tuned for the exact idioms and jargon used by each field in that language.
