Indeed machine translation is really hard, but assistance into translation
is a more reachable goal. Focus on the terms before translate whole stuffs,
suggest meaning for terms, for example. Or suggest completion while
translating stuffs. And as there is already datas to feed in in the
Mediawiki ecosystem as translation of stuffs, take Wikidata translated
pages for example. This is not a huge dataset and there is tons of
untranslated things, so it may be something that eventually makes a
difference, translating things make translation easier which could motivate
people.

Hi all,
As a reminder, for ideas of tool, there is
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Lexicographical_data/Ideas_of_tools
(feel free to add your own ideas or to take an idea to make a tool)
Machine translation is a very hard and complex subject, and anyway, it
needs a large set of data. It's still a good goal for the future but right
now, we should focus on tool increasing and improving the data.
Cheers, ~nicolas

Oh, one obvious usecase that comes to my mind, after reading a
discussion like this one
<https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Wikidata_talk:Lexicographical_data&curid=16175375&diff=1016446701&oldid=1015669722&diffmode=source#Reminder:_your_input_needed_about_integration_of_Lexemes_in_Wiktionaries>
this reminds that we are a multilingual community that could hugely benefit
from some help in multilingual discussions. So if we can eat our own dog
food … it’s for the better. It could indeed help for the funding as if I
recall there was a recent community call for need to help cross language
barriers. Wikitools to translate pages in a wiki, or cross wikis, could
probably benefit from sense annotation and translation suggestions thanks
to Wikidata datas …
