Open, MediumPublic

Description

Originally migrated from: https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/language_engineering/cards/4471

Requests for Bing integration have come in lately, particularly for Bangla. Capturing this request here for future action. Initial assessment suggests no significant shift in content quality from currently available MT engines in CX, however, we would like to keep track of the new languages that can get coverage, as well as content quality for existing languages.

Based on the analysis in T304865#8690534, Bing Translate would be a useful option for Yue/Cantonese Wikipedia since it uses the Yue-Kouyu variant. Other services do not support the specific language variant used on Yue Wikipedia.
