    Honestly, translating the good articles from other languages would improve Wikipedia immensely.

    For example, the Nanjing dialect article is pretty bare in English and very detailed in Mandarin

      You can do that, that’s fine. As long as you can verify it is an accurate translation, so you need to know the subject matter and the target language.

      But you could probably also have used Google translate and then just fine tune the output yourself. Anyone could have done that at any point in the last 10 years.

        Google translate is horrendously bad at Korean, especially with slang and accidental typos. Like nonsense bad.
