New feature: Wikipedia has created an open-source translation recommendation tool.
The Gap Finder, currently in beta mode, is an article recommendation system that aims to encourage more translations within Wikipedia.
Due to the unbalanced percentage of languages on the Wikipedia database, the company's research department has launched an initiative to encourage more of the volunteer editors to translate articles. In order to do this, they have built the Gap Finder – currently in beta mode – which locates articles lacking translations, prioritises them, and then uses an algorithm to locate and contact the ideal volunteer for the task.
