Yes, ideally, all languages
I read a great reduction of spoken languages was expected over the next decennies. If Wikipedia can help make some of them stay alive, so much the best.
it was expected
What languages should the Encyclopedia be translated
into? I think that
you should choose languages that would have many
readers. High German,
French and Spanish for example. There is a difference
between this French
spoken in France and in Canada, in the Spanish spoken
in Spain and in
Mexico.
The Encyclopedia is not translated and will not be translated in other languages. Each language is free of its own creativity. Articles from one language can influence another language. But they are not copies.
