Okey lets take a real world example then. Which is going to take less
resources translating 2.5 million articles into the Fayu language or
teaching what's left of the Fayu English? Which is going to create
longer term benefits. Providing the Fayu with wikipedia in Fayu or a
teaching them to speak English which will allow them to access a
broader range of sources and knowledge.
