I'm saying it's easy to get the nazi/right wing to vote for state funding for such a project because it's "nationalist".

Yep. I look up restaurants/stores/medical clinics near me on Google because that's where they are. Mostly on Maps not the search engine tho.

But it's not only programming. How's the Polish wikipedia on any random topic of international interest that you want to check out? The Romanian wikipedia is usually ... much shorter than the English one. With the exception of local topics of course.

How many nazi/right wing parties are you thinking are in charge of funding in European countries? Most governments fall pretty far left of either American party.

I also think there are lots of people looking to search in their own language, because that's their language, rather than some kind of right wing tie?

I read it has limiting the scope so they can fine tune their code/index before going bigger with other languages.
