Hi, that strikes me as a bit of a futile task as large parts of the
wiki is outdated as it is, and many parts would not benefit from
translation (for example, the docs team pages have instructions on how
to contribute to docs, for which one must have good English skills).

that part of the aim is to make those newcomers part of the community
and the community is (irrelevant of whether it's a good thing or a bad
thing), mostly used English to communicate.

I would prefer to see a task to get all documentation (and possibly UI
string) translations up to 100% because help.gnome.org gets lots of
views of the translated pages. On the other hand, as I have not done
translations before, I don't know if this is enough material for a
three month internship.
