::Hi Sj, just looked at this because of the Swahili restricted article debate. If you mention lessons from the Swahili contest - did I overlook that you mentioned the agreed opinion on sw-wikipedia that the contest produced lots and lots of bullshit (few good ones, too!), i.e. unreadable stuff?? Which we still have not managed to clear up.'''[[Mtumiaji:Kipala|Kipala]] ([[Majadiliano ya mtumiaji:Kipala|majadiliano]])''' 16:58, 10 Septemba 2015 (UTC)
::: oh yes, having newbies 'using a translation tool' rather than writing thoughtfully with the help of a tool, leads to lots of crap. Both mistranslations, broken templates, neologisms, bad syntax, and inappropriate content (might make sense in the context of a different wiki with sources on a different language, but not in the new language and context.). And automated told can produce heaps and heaps of bad material, much more than the existing community had energy to monitor and correct. So: don't do that. See there points above, especially on 'balance'.
