About this data

This page tracks the volume of Wikipedia articles that have not been translated into any other language, alongside the median number of translations per article across the platform.

The data is derived from public Wikipedia metadata, comparing the existence of articles across different language editions to identify unique entries that remain isolated to a single tongue.

While Wikipedia aims for universal access to information, there is little public visibility regarding how much knowledge remains locked in a single language. These statistics highlight the extent of the digital language divide.

Why this isn't published anywhere else

The search results are irrelevant, containing only general Wikipedia articles and census data for Irish towns. There is no evidence of a live dashboard or recurring statistical report tracking untranslated Wikipedia articles.

Uniqueness score 1.00 — assessed against live web search results when this subject was created.
