My point is that particularly translation dictionaries provide an excellent
basis for establishing a link to Wikidata and consequently such efforts will
bring the benefits I describe.
That is a bit of simplistic determination of the path to solution. The
lack of content is not due to lack of translation dictionaries. One
could probably present a premise wherein it would be easier to
demonstrate that the [1] legacy workstations/deployments lack a method
to input in Unicode ready forms and, [2] a significant part of the
content production (books, magazine etc) workflow is based on software
that is decades old and, has not seen an economic reason to upgrade
since then
