The link is about Google Translate, I'm not sure about the rumor. Probably a rule based solution is the easiest to get up and running for small wikis, while a statistical solution will work for larger wikis. That will make the system work sufficiently well that users will build upon the initial machine translation thereby enabling the statistical engine to learn from the errors. Its like an automatic classifier with some a priori knowledge.
