I'm not sure if 'number of locales' is a good litmus for going with 
either, as an aside. It ought to be quality of translations, if you ask 
me... Many of the locales for which Google has less data produce 
translations similar to those it does for Gaelic 'all this base are 
belong to us' kind of translations.

Perhaps it should be an optional feature for smaller locales which is 
only turned on if a locale lead asks for it - imagine if someone powers 
through a whole load of machine translations without doing due 
diligence, someone then has to hunt down all this machine translation 
junk. Having had to do this, I can tell you it's pretty soul destroying. 
Not to mention the embarrassment of having it in a release.

Michael
