An interesting "aside" on this would be...
What is the quality of the foreign-language Wiki's that currently exist. For example; the articles in my specific technical topic area have a few foreign language equivalents. Most are two or three lines.
It would be interesting to see this question expanded to "what number of languages with more than 1M readers do not have a Wikipedia with a reasonable depth of coverage".
I haven't understood you. Articles in English Wikipedia are very good and English is a foreign language.
That answers the question for one language (although using an unfounded sweeping generalisation - I am pretty sure that not _all_ articles in the English Wikipedia are 'very good'), leaves 280 languages (or 279 if you consider one of them not a foreign language) to answer the question for.
