Translating wiki articles into Spanish is a great way to develop language skills in students. It may require some content knowledge, so you will want to be (as Jon Beasley Murray suggested) clear on what articles students translate. Certainly this addresses a gap, but one that you might want to think about is whether students can further develop the article, or whether it is purely a translation exercise. I think it would also be important for students to understand the gap that they are helping to address and why it is important to have Wikipedia articles in Spanish. This is the ‘bigger picture’ of Wikipedia.
