Well, of the English Wikipedia, rather.

It'd be fun if articles had links to their equivalents in other languages, with automatic translation. A problem with Wikipedia is that each language is a separate silo, which lowers the value of an universal encyclopedia.

Look in the sidebar - the Languages section.

(OT) I use that feature all the time when I know the name of, say, a mathematical term in one language but not in another.

Oh wow, this is the exact same use case for me. Other than that I prefer english one and rarely read articles in my own language.

Oh, wow, thanks. I'd seen that, but assumed it was a link to the frontpage of each language. Still would like if it could offer an automatic translation.
