Yeah, I'd add the mention at the end. Personally I think it might flow better reversing use and access. "The way people use and access Wikipedia"

Otherwise LGTM

Like this one best :) LGTM

Hi,

Thanks for publishing.

There are a bunch of little errors there, and it would be really nice to fix them:

• "but also to interest other departments in the University" -> "but also

to interest other departments in the University *in this*"

• "I asked the Xhosa-speaking audience members what do they thought about

the text" -> "I asked the Xhosa-speaking audience members *what did they think* about the text" or "I asked the Xhosa-speaking audience members *what do they think* about the text"

• "This is a taste of the things to come, which Content Translation makes

easier than ever. More content can be created in more languages with less effort." - something feels disconnected here. I'd rewrite it like this: "This is a taste of the things to come. With Content Translation, more content can be created in more languages with less effort."
