From countless witnesses of minority language speakers, I can assure
you that having an online dictionary makes a lot of sense. Wikidata may
include that function but it doesn't look like an online dictionary -
and that's what counts to local government, communities and funders when
it comes to supporting minority languages. Populating vernacular
wiktionaries is among the best services we can give the world of
minority language support and development. (I'm going to give a talk on
that at Leiden University end of next month.)
Fwiw,
Oliver

Hoi,
to what extend have the other messages been translated?
I am not a fan of Wiktionary, it does not make sense with Wikidata
including this functionality.
Thanks,
