Hello,
First, congratulation for all the already achieved great work on the wikidata project.
Now I would be interested to know more about future development, especially on interactions with wiktionaries.
I think wikidata could help to improve wiktionaries drastically, by unifying not only interlangs links, but also definitions and translations.
More accurately what I mean is that currently you often have, attached to one wiki article you have usually several definitions for each language where the word is used. But often when I seek a non-french word in the french wiktionary, looking at the native wiktionary will bring more definition than what you can find on the french article.
I saw that on the english wiktionary, the interface added a "quick add" feature, which ask user to fill translation for each meaning. That's great and I wish it would be added in all chapters. And I think that we could add even more "hey, what about translating just this little thing" feature across all dictionary by centralizing entries, so that each "word" is associated with one or several meaning by language. Then all meanings could be redistributed to all wiktionnaries, even when no translation is available for a given meaning in the local chapter. In this cas we could have an information box that would say "this word have an other meaning which wasn't yet translated in ${local_language}, if you one of the language in which a translation is available, please help us to improve the wiktionary".
What do think about such a project, could it work with wikidata?
kind regards, mathieu
