Dear Wikidata community,
We're working on a project called Wikibabel to machine-translate parts of
Wikipedia into underserved languages, starting with Swahili.
In hopes that some of our ideas can be helpful to machine translation
projects, we wrote a blogpost about how we prioritized which pages to
translate, and what categories need a human in the loop:

Rumor has it that the Wikidata community has thought deeply about
information access. We'd love your feedback on our work. Please let us know
about past / ongoing machine translation related projects so we can learn
from & collaborate with them.
Best regards,
Olya & the Wikibabel crew
