hello friends,
I'm totally new with wiki api. I want your help.
I want to get a word definition from wiki using wiki api. the system is below
input a word -> get the definition from wiki .
I am reading this http://en.wiktionary.org/w/api.php . but could not get it well. I do understand how to implement it.
