I wonder how different each of the wikipedias are between languages. There's barely any info about the dismantling of the Clémenceau in the English wikipedia. I occasionally read the Spanish language wikipedia for South American history as it is more complete. As a someone fluent in both languages I feel like I have access to more knowledge.

How much knowledge is "hidden" in other languages on Wikipedia?

Would be cool for translators to copy portions between languages. They must do this already, right?

For this kind of stuff there is usually much more in the language of origin. I’d suspect the French article have more details on this since it was the French navy.

It is already the case. I've seen several French Wikipedia articles with a banner warning the content was merely lifted from the English article.

Computers, like Google Translate, are pretty good these days for something like Wikipedia articles.
