That was in summer 2006, the latest stats in the updates correspond to 4 million articles waiting for translation (although that's an over estimate since it doesn't take into account articles that exist in multiple languages, just not English). The test is very imprecise and should only be used to give a rough idea - I think we can say there are "millions" of articles waiting for translation, anything more than that would be false precision. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
