Is there a repository or more information about the underlying process?

The repo is here: http://github.com/adamhwang/wikitranslator

However theres not much more to see other than what's in the source. It uses the Wikipedia API to get a list of the same article in other languages and returns all the titles as "translations".

I needed to translate a bunch of company names and found it works pretty well for proper nouns. It's still best to reconcile the results with another source, but it's been pretty accurate thus far.
