Hello everyone! How come the number of articles in each language Wikipedia is so different? I mean, in English, 3,000,000 or so articles. Spanish, about 600,000 articles. Don't encyclopedias deserve to be the same size, no matter what language? Why don't they have automatic translator bots to make all Wikipedias equal? That's my suggestion, translator bots for Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikibooks and all other sites part of the Wikimedia wiki farm.
Yes they deserve, but there are no editors to write the articles. Forget about autotranslators. They are not able to translate anything except of giving the idea what a text is about.
