"If there are issues, they can be overcome. The fact of the matter is that the vast majority of articles in English can be "pushed" over to other languages, and fill a need for those topics in those languages." - if there are vast swathes in other languages that aren't filled, it's normally indicative of a small userbase - a small userbase then having to cope with copyediting hundreds or thousands of new articles all referenced in a foreign language. In addition, wikis with vast gaps and small numbers of users are likely to be those in "small" languages; an effective Chuvash translation tool, say, is hardly a massive priority for most online translators.
