So, if we really wanted encyclopedias whose focuses were geared towards local culture, we would actually need to split some languages into multiple encyclopedias
Some? More or less all, except the klingon and esperanto wikipedia.
Italy gets a local version, because nobody else really speaks Italian,
The language doesn't qualify for the culture. The cultural differences between the north and the south of Italy are quite big. In Germany even within one state like Bavaria you have different cultures like Franken and Oberbayern (not to mention the people living in the Bayerischer Wald).
