Using a rather simple pair like Afrikaans - Dutch or a heavily researched one like English - Spanish would be giving us a wrong impression of how this will scale. We should at least add a few random pairs like Yoruba - Gujarati or Kazakh - Lombard. Most of our 67,000 language pairs that we will have to cover will fall in the latter group, not in the first two.
