We could perhaps copy the information from other languages; France for example seems to be complete in frwiki.
Sounds like there is an interesting exercise for a statistician here: by sampling from the larger Wikipedias, estimate the total number of article topics in them, taken collectively.

Easy: all articles on en.wikipedia + all articles on other wikipedias that do *not* have an interlanguage link to en.wikipedia (substract doublettes that are connected in an "interwiki web" not including en.wikipedia; count these as 1)
There, all done :-)
