For Wikipedia's purposes, it would be much better to work on computation to "translate" the text.
One of the fundamental tenets of wikis is that they remain as close to natural language and markup as possible -- the wiki format should remain readable.
This:
Paris is a [[type:=city]] in [[located in::France]], with a population of [[population:=1,000,000,000]].
is not.
I don't know about the "translation", but some of us are old enough to remember when articles were written in natural language. Some task-oriented people become so focused on what they believe would be easy that they often forget that there's a real world out there where people don't speak markup.
