Google and Wikimedia pilot project for Bahasa Indonesia search users

What is the project?

The Wikimedia Foundation and Wikimedia Indonesia have accepted Google’s invitation to collaborate on a pilot that changes the way Google presents machine translated content in search results for Bahasa Indonesia language users. As of February 1st, 2019, there are 36.5 million pages in English Wikipedia, and only 1.9 million pages in Bahasa Indonesia Wikipedia. Expanding access and availability of local language content is critical to the Wikimedia mission. In cases where local language content does not yet exist, we see this pilot as an impactful, interim method to extend knowledge and information access.
