Since the wikipedia is not fully translated to every language yet, and maybe will never be anyways, I can imagine that in these countries that speak a language that the wikipedia can't offer, they still offer traditional encyclopedias.
@enigmatico There are many other websites other then Wikipedia which are specific to a language. Also for the languages of developing and under developed world it would also be hard to find a good encyclopaedia. You have to do with a dictionary.
