This is a brilliant idea. I believe the content translation tool would be extremely useful

Subject: [African Wikimedians] Translate-a-thon of African Women Bios
In about a week, we will launch a friendly "translate-a-thon" effort on
16 biographies of African women so that they get translated in "as many
languages as possible" (at least 16).
In the meanwhile, we need your help to "improve/polish" the ENGLISH
Wikipedia version of the biographies selected (as it is likely to be the
"master" of most translations). #16wikiwomen
Please join and help us to do that :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/16_African_Women_Translate-a-thon#Our_list_…
The complete list includes
* Malouma, Mauritanian singer, songwriter and politician
* Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge, politician, South Africa
* Cri-Zelda Brits, South African crickete
* Manal al-Sharif, Saudi women's rights activist
* Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Nigerian women's rights activist
* Flora Nwapa, Nigerian Igbo writer
* Samia Yusuf Omar, Sprinter from Somalia

* Yaa Asantewaa, Ghana, former Queen Mother
* Fatou Bensouda, Gambian lawyer
* Martha Karua, Kenyan politician

Please defend the colors of your nation if one biography is about
someone from your country !
