I think you're wrong. No, it is good that we have a translations in wiki
now, it's great. But it's system...

For example, how can i view ALL articles in wiki to select, which to
translate? How can i view, which articles ARE translated for my particular
language? How can i view all articles, translated by me, but were changed
in English (<100% of translations) or in Russian (some other guy changed
it).

Looking into the future, for example, when i translate 500 articles, and
(for example) total number of articles is 800. I want to translate
something more. I need to move back and forth to look, if i catch one of
300, which are not translated? May be one of this 500 is updated, but i am
not aware of it. May be today 801 article is created (yes, i can view
recent updates, but if it is not recent, a month ago?)

And last - now every sentence translating is adding an entry in "recent
updates". Appx 20-30 entries for one article translating. I think, it
creates huge impact on Database Perfomance and Size
