Hoi,
The quality of the translations will vary. There are many reasons for it and
one of the things that will make a difference is the number of people using

One of the most important things that is needed for adding languages to a
technology like this is having a sufficiently sized corpus. For general

What I see as a great feature in the toolkit is the translation memory: in
practice (after you switch of the machine translation), common phrases in
Wikipedia articles - like external links, notes, history, early life
