This list will automatically come if Google engage the wiki community for
their project for a particular language. But for some wikipedias there is no
active wiki community. So how this issue can be solved?

Selection of the articles for translation is an important part for this
project. Definitely http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vital_articles is
a good choice for this. Community might also be interested in some other
important articles (important with respect to the social/ cultural/geography
of the speakers of that language). So engaging local wiki community is most
important
