What we need to figure out is how to allow translation of articles through micro contributions via cellphones.
Maybe send out sentences one by one for translation from one language to another. Just start with the leads of articles that are deemed to be of good quality. Than when the lead is all translated join it back together and add it to that language. This would of course only apply to articles which are non existent in the target language.
Maybe Amir's "content translation" tool could do this eventually https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_translation
