This is a hard and tmk unsolved NLP/IR problem, and data access is an issue.

This has been attempted via machine translation in the past, and it failed because you need native speakers to verify and correct the translations and this wasn't the sort of work that people were jumping to volunteer to do.
- lazyasciiart 2y agoI speak multiple languages. It'd be fun to be given a link saying "this article has content present that is not in the English version" and see if I can update either of the articles using what's in the other copy. But I'm not going to go read wikipedia articles in two languages to find them.
