===Wikipedia=== Machine translation has also been used for translating [[Wikipedia]] articles and could play a larger role in creating, updating, expanding, and generally improving articles in the future, especially as the MT capabilities may improve. There is a "content translation tool" which allows editors to more easily translate articles across several select languages.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Wilson |first1=Kyle |title=Wikipedia has a Google Translate problem |url=https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/8/18526739/wikipedia-translation-tool-machine-learning-ai-english |access-date=9 January 2023 |work=The Verge |date=8 May 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Wikipedia taps Google to help editors translate articles |url=https://venturebeat.com/ai/wikipedia-taps-google-to-help-editors-translate-articles/ |access-date=9 January 2023 |work=VentureBeat |date=9 January 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Content translation tool helps create over half a million Wikipedia articles |url=https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2019/09/23/content-translation-tool-helps-create-over-half-a-million-wikipedia-articles/ |website=Wikimedia Foundation |access-date=10 January 2023 |date=23 September 2019}}</ref> English-language articles are thought to usually be more comprehensive and less biased than their non-translated equivalents in other languages.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Magazine |first1=Undark |title=Wikipedia Has a Language Problem.
