Sorry Milos, systematic bias at work there :)
I mean... English Wikipedia has the largest collection of content, and on
average I would guess that the content is of a higher, or at least a more
complete, quality than most other language wiki's. Computer forensics... is
relatively decent on en-wp; it has a number of foreign language equivilants
but none of them are of particular length or completeness.
What I am really saying is.. alongside the figures of how many language
Wiki's we are missing should be a figure of how many language Wiki's don't
yet constitute a reasonably detailed encyclopaedia.
Just theorizing on a related topic :)

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.
