I have been on this list awhile, when i originally joined i was interesting in the possibility of exporting the wiktionary data as .dict format. Now that the newest version of OSX 10.4 has a built-in dictionary that uses the dict:// to look-up words i was interested to see if anyone on the technicaly side would like to explore the possibility of either exporting the Wiktionary database as .dict format, or run a dictionary daemon that would access the wiktionary database server and return dict entries. It would be read-only, but it would be another interesting way to access the wiktionary besides the web interface.
Does anyone on the tech list know if this is even possible? I'm not asking you to do it (i can write the export), i was wondering if there is some sort of database schema available to extract the data into dict format, or are the entries too fragmented to even attempt an export?
Brian, there is already something - I have to write a mail to Kasper about this - only: since it is going to be a longer mail I just waited for a moment - there are too many things around these days.
I'll see if I can do this later on tonight. Anyway he can convert wiktionaries into a .dict format as much as I understand.
Ciao, Sabine
