I was thinking about a website that would have static copies of all Wikipedia 
articles translated to all languages. That should dissuade people from using 
Google Translate to make Wikipedia articles, since the articles would already 
be online; and even if someone would do that, admins would have community 
support for deletion of such articles because they already exist online. And 
if someone would want to fix Google Translate translation and make a real 
article, they could do that too...
