I do it on a regular basis, actually. What's surprising to me is that others don't seem to: I often come across articles in other languages which are dwarfed by their English companion. I'd think that someone would have bothered using Google Translate to guide a conversion of the page from English, but I guess I'd think wrong.
The styles for some of the languages seem quite different, had an issue with a translation from the French wikipedia being very informal in style, compared to English...
