I would imagine that, since the Migration Assistant merely copies your Applications Folder over, that Rosetta 2 won't translate each app until launch. That being said, if Rosetta 2 is anything like the original PowerPC-to-Intel Rosetta, you won't notice it.
Me too, though I'm leaning towards a clean installI'm on the edge if I should recover from my 12 years running TM backup or start clean (the pain with OS set up) when I get my M1 machine.
A short while ago I cleaned of my iMac of old leopard (or was it snow leopard) language files and other stuff that hasn't been used for a decade. I'm just wondering how much junk that is not needed still persist in my system
I'm a bit confused about that. Apple made a point of saying that App Store apps will be translated on install from the Mac App Store. I've been through the Motorola -> PowerPC -> Intel transitions, and in the past, the Rosetta technologies worked at run time.

That's basically an extra feature. The default is that apps are being translated when launched for the first time. Any apps, no matter the source. This also applies to already installed MAS apps.
This time, it works differently. The binaries get translated from Intel to Arm once, and the translated version is kept for future use. There are a only few exceptions where the translation occurs on runtime.
Wikipedia is not an authoritative source. Apple is not the original contributor and it cannot guarantee that it would be the last contributor. This makes it extremely problematic for Apple to have anything to do with it. It would run the risk of being held responsible for everything written on any Wikipedia page that it had ever contributed to. It is best that Apple limit itself to its own websites.
