We offer this knowledge by having articles about the grammar, culture
and social values of these languages, and by having wiktionary entries
for the words of these languages. We do not need to have the human
knowledge *in* these languages. It would be nice, but it's not
necessary to reach the ultimate goal to offer all human knowledge.

Of those who can read at all, probably much less than 1%. The problem
are those people who can't read.
