The results on dbnary (http://kaiko.getalp.org/sparql) look better for this case:
PREFIX dbnary: http://kaiko.getalp.org/dbnary# PREFIX eng: http://kaiko.getalp.org/dbnary/eng/ PREFIX lexvo: http://lexvo.org/id/iso639-3/ PREFIX lemon: http://www.lemon-model.net/lemon#
SELECT DISTINCT ?def_value ?written_trans WHERE { ?lexform lemon:writtenRep "Suisse"@fr . ?lexentry lemon:canonicalForm ?lexform ; lemon:sense ?sense . ?sense lemon:definition ?def . ?def lemon:value ?def_value OPTIONAL { ?trans dbnary:isTranslationOf ?lexentry ; dbnary:targetLanguage lexvo:deu ; dbnary:writtenForm ?written_trans . } }
Any comments on the differences between dbnary and dbpedia-wiktionary are welcome. It's quite time consuming to judge the projects as an outsider.

Hi all,
And first of all thank you for that great news (to me) of an RDF version of wiktionary.
For my first trials, I am willing to retrieve translations of words between French and German. I did manage to get "random" translations following the SPARQL examples.
But then I tried a more specific search to find translation of Suisse (Switzerland in english), and couldn't find the translation. I then simplified the query to: ?swordRes rdfs:label "Suisse"@fr . optional{?swordRes terms:hasTranslation ?twordRes }.
with no result for ?twordRes.
However, I can see many translations on this original page: http://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/Suisse
And then this also happened with other words I tried, as Valais (a swiss canton). Maybe I am not familiar enough yet with the ontology ?
By the way, I can't access: http://wiktionary.dbpedia.org/page/dog which gives me: Execution of "/DAV/VAD/dbpedia/description.vsp" failed.SQL Error: 37000 SQ074: Line 272: syntax error at ')' before 'order' thank you for your help Fabian
