The idea here is interesting as Google is using Wikipedia articles to
improve its translation tools, which remain proprietary. If Wikimedia
ran its own translation toolkit, would that change the paradigm a bit?
Would that somehow compel Google to open up its translation data to
us, as an exchange for using our content for its proprietary tools?
