Xqt added a comment.

  There are several issues to be thought:
  
  - Does any translation api exist the bot can be use?
  - The version history must be copied to the translation target due to license 
rights
  - `transferbot.py` is able to copy any page from source wiki to destination 
wiki including the version history which is saved to a defined subage but it 
cannot translate yet. Anyway this script can be reused for translations too if 
there is a translation api
  - A better way than copying the version history would be a version import. 
But this needs cross-wiki import rights. As long as wikimedia site farm has 
this ability for cross-wiki imports the plain import like it is done by 
`transferbot.py` should not be made
  - A machine translation is not a good idea for an enzyklopedia; it need human 
redacting. Therefore bot should import and translate from a wiki to a draft 
target only
