It would be great to have it linked to Wikipedia in some way if that worked out but I think linking it to Facebook is a good thing actually. Efforts to lightly connect with popular social media sites like that can help drive the knowledge,understanding and use of great projects like this and open source/free knowledge in general.
I think using Facebook to attract more people to the free world is a healthy use, but to *require* using Facebook, within the borders of the free world, is a fundamentally different thing.
That's not to say that the idea behind this translation platform is something I'd personally not like, or want to use. It's the opposite that led me to post here.
