For those of you interested in this, you can take a look at the blog post
<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/11/11/content-translation-30000-wikipedia-articles/>
announcing
our use of Yandex (It's in the "Improvements to machine translation"
section). The post also provides links to various pages with more details
about this project, including the write-up of why we are using Yandex:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_translation/Documentation/FAQ#Yandex….
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_translation/Documentation/FAQ#Yandex_is_not_based_on_open_source_software._Why_are_we_using_it.3F>
Among other things, our agreement allows us to maintain the CC license of
all translated content and we are not required to provide attribution to
Yandex like their TOU states. Yandex is also not charging us for the
service.
Thanks,
Zhou
