I am cleaning Requests for new languages [1] at Meta. Some of the requests are clearly out of the Language committee scope, and they need wider discussion for concluding them.
One of such requests is for multilingual Wiktionary [2]. Please, discuss here (at foundation-l; I am sending this message to wiktionary-l to poke those who are not at foundation-l) or on wiki at the page [2].

OmegaWiki was originally intended to be a multilingual Wiktionary project...
Has there been any thought on bringing it back somehow into the Wikimedia fold?
Thanks, Pharos

Hoi, One of the things we did at OmegaWiki was create a proof of concept demonstrating the categories of Commons using a dictionary.. The category "horse" would be translated to "paard" for the Dutch and "Pferd" for the Germans.
In this way we demonstrated that having dictionary content in a database format allows for application of that data for other purposes. Thanks, GerardM

The request has been rejected as invalid. The explanation for rejection is below:
According to the Language proposal policy, Language committee may approve just a project which intends to be written in one language. Thus, this proposal is invalid. If you want to create multilingual Wiktionary, please create a page Multilingual Wiktionary and start discussion about the idea at wiktionary-l. Note, also, that there is a free content project OmegaWiki, which is in fact multilingual Wiktionary. --Millosh 06:18, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
