Hoi,
The relation between coverage is a two way street. When the bigger
Wikipedia does not cover what is important given existing articles, the
usefulness of that bigger Wikipedia is not great. This implies that
translations of content will not necessarily improve the usefulness of the
smaller Wikipedia.
Thanks,
Gerard
