 [open...] Wanted: a Rosetta for the MegaWikipedia: Because if we don't, Wikipedia will never be that grand, freely-available summation of knowledge that so many hope for: instead, it will be a grand, freely-available summation of knowledge for precisely those who already have access to much of it. And the ones who actually need that knowledge most - and who currently have no means of accessing it short of learning another language (for which they probably have neither the time nor the money) - will be excluded once more.

 [theory.isthereason] Qwika: The Better Search Engine for Wikipedia: I’ve seen the light now that Luke Metcalfe, CEO of Rapid Intelligence, emailed me to try a beta of Qwika.com, a wiki search engine. The unique aspect of Qwika lies in the fact that their technology is designed to work with wiki-based content and multiple langauges, making it a decently powerful tool for researchers and Wikipedia editors.

[Braised Lambchop] my Olympic contribution: I know I haven't posted in a while, and I have no real excuse other than simply spending my uptime doing other stuff, like editing Wikipedia. If you know something about respirators -- not ventilators that breathe for people who are ill, but respirators that protect people from breathing bad stuff at work -- come on over and help me rescue the English respirator entry from somebody who couldn't tell the difference between the two.

 [Pandia.com] » Searching the Wikipedia: The German version, for instance, is based on original German language articles, and not translations of the English language material. If a German speaking person would like to search both versions, she or he will have to do two searches, one with the German term and one with an English language query.
