And another one who talked to Gnangarra in Berlin: I remember that I
explicitly said that the current standard is to write a new language's
WMF project in that language. I had realized that nys:wp was written
predominantly in English. I don't think that I encouraged any
interpretation that nys:wp could be written in English but I also
remember that I had some communication problems due to our rather
different versions of spoken English.
Fwiw,

I was also in Berlin, and remember speaking to Gnangarra there. I agree with
Amir. I did not realize that what was being suggested was not an encyclopaedia
written in the target language.

I say the same thing to all the people who ask what is needed to create a
Wikipedia in a new language: Have a bunch of people who know that language
write a lot of articles in that language. Of course I also mention the
requirements for ISO code, completion of translatewiki most used messages, and
expert approval.
This is oversimplified, but the essence in this case is that I am sure that I
didn't say that it's OK to create a project in a new language that will not be
written in that language. This would be a self-contradiction. Perhaps somebody
else said something like this.
