Hoi,
Denny, when you look at the data currently in Wikidata, you find what is in
essence more than a basis for a translation dictionary.
I would say it's excellent as a thesaurus which can be used for cross-lingual
tagging, named entity recognition, topic detection, and similar NLP tasks.
For literature grade translations, that is, for a true dictionary, I believe
that you need to full range of nuances attached to each word and each word
sense, which is distinct from the platonic concepts described by data items.
