Sabine, could you explain a bit more how this works? Is this script
available

Hi Frederik, well the script is not available under a free license as much
as I know. Zdenek programs with Java and for now has only en.wikt data. But
I will ask him asap and let you know. For each wiktionary you need to write
a different script because people used different ways to create the
wiktionaries.

There are issues with wiktionary, yes and it takes quite some time to get
more or less clean data. We simply deleted all languages where we found
problems.

As soon as I am back home in Italy I can work normally again - for now
online time is really limited.

Cheers,

Sabine
