@Thomas and @Andre: I know that it is very hard to mantain a Wikipedia in 'remote' or 'almost extinct' languages, but, if we don't save as much as
we
can of them (including words, grammar, culture, social values), how are
we
going to offer 'all human knowledge' ?
We offer this knowledge by having articles about the grammar, culture and social values of these languages, and by having wiktionary entries for the words of these languages.
I'm OK with this.
We do not need to have the human knowledge *in* these languages. It would be nice,
but it's not necessary to reach the ultimate goal to offer all human
knowledge.
Why not? Why do people need to learn English to read a complete encyclopedia? Biased thinking.
How many people don't understand any Wikipedia today?
Of those who can read at all, probably much less than 1%. The problem are those people who can't read.
Be careful, first 1% is from your pocket ({{citation needed}}), second 1% of hundred of millions may be a lot of people.
