I'm not sure that kind of comparison will be possible. It will be
different people doing the assessments on each project and even with
the best translations the criteria we use will have different nuances
in different languages. For example, I expect languages with few
literate speakers will do better than English since there are fewer
alternatives to Wikipedia articles, so "good" just means better than
nothing, rather than better than the various other reference materials
written in English.
