Only that it's an incredibly bad idea.  Articles in English, for 
example, are the product of many people coming to a consensus about a 
subject to arrive at NPOV.  Articles on the same subject will have gone 
through similar processes with a different group of editors, but may 
have very well come to a different NPOV.  Your suggestion would require 
that all languages arrive at the same NPOV.  I would prefer not opening 
that can of worms.
