No, it's far not true - at least for such target language as Ukrainian etc.
So any attempt of "push" translation will be almost the disaster...
...and we need to remember that most articles are *not* translations
of the English article, but are home-grown on the wiki and use their
own sources in their own language.
Also don't forget that the same subject can be treated very
differently among different cultures (even if they are not distant,
think to French and English).
An article in the English Wikipedia can be a very good basis to start
a new article, but I don't think that an automated "flooding" of the
other Wikipedias is a good thing in *any* way.
