Hello, Salut,
This topic here: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic96710.html
has inspired me to think about the sides of Numista a bit.

Truely, sometimes we have useful info on either the English or the French side, which are - unless you put effort to double-check - will be unavailable to users of the other langue.

So, I don't know to what extent it is technically a nightmare, but I guess it would be interesting to introduce an automatic translation via google.translate, IF - and ONLY IF - the given field on the other side is totally void/empty. Maybe with a WARNING SIGNAL that it is a google.translate translation.

I guess it would serve 2 purposes:
1) It would indicate that there is some knowledge on the other side, maybe in a readable and useful manner
2) It would trigger members to properly correct that translation and complete the page.

Je ne sais pas..., what do you think?
Santé,
Imre
