Pick any language, translate the sentence that accompanies the WOD.

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random

Something else that has been helpful for me is randomly selecting "Simple English" Wikipedia pages. This may not the best idea based on the very limited vocabulary employed, but it's a starting point.

Pick any language, translate the sentence that accompanies the WOD.

in Tormiott:

/ˈɪikɪn mɛaɹ ˈidʑa ˈmjaːɹ. ˈkopːa ˈtʏʊsʊn ˈkəlmʏʊlˌlistɪn ˈɕənɪit ni nʏʊn. ˈɲamɪkːθɛa ʊˈdon ˈʊiɕʊtʊɹ/
this here be-3s idea be.good-3s. IMPRS take.long.time-3p translate-3p story and article. SGV-sentence ADV much AUG-be.easy-3s
That's a good idea. Stories and articles often take too long to translate. A single sentence is much easier.
