Hi Ilario,
yes, this can easily be done as the dataset contains German, Italian and
French short and long abstracts as well as links to the original Wikipedia
pages in these languages.
The DBpedia data is accassible through a SPARQL query endpoint at
http://DBpedia.org/sparql
You can for instance ask queries like:
SELECT ?name ?description_en ?description_de ?musician WHERE {
?musician skos:subject
<http://dbpedia.org/resource/Category:German_musicians> .
?musician foaf:name ?name .
OPTIONAL {
?musician rdfs:comment ?description_de .
FILTER (LANG(?description_en) = 'de') .
}
OPTIONAL {
?musician rdfs:comment ?description_fr .
FILTER (LANG(?description_de) = 'fr') .
}
}
to get the German and French abstract for German musicians.
To test this query with the SNORQL query builder, click on:
http://dbpedia.org/snorql/?query=SELECT+%3Fname+%3Fdescription_en+%3Fdescri…
As the query endpoint is sometimes slow, you can also get all data from our
download page and filter the German, French and Italien information out and
store it locally.
Please refer to:
http://wiki.dbpedia.org/OnlineAccess for information about accessing the
dataset via the SPARQL endpoint.
http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Downloads for downloading the dumps.
You find information about the SPARQL query language here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/
and information about toolkits to store and process the dumps here:

Please feel free to contact me or the
dbpedia-discussion(a)lists.sourceforge.net mailing list with any further
question about how to use the dataset.
Cheers
Chris

Database:Improved dataset released.
This project is very, very interesting for a content
syndacation, but
I would have some documentation also for me.
As Wikimedia Ch board member we have registered
www.wikipedia.ch but
we have not content on it.
I thought to include some content concerning the Swiss in three
languages on the same page. Using Mediawiki it's very difficult to
made.
You understand that if I have the database I can proceed to include
the content in any page without mediawiki.

Hi all,
after quite some work into improving the DBpedia information
extraction framework, we have released a new version of the DBpedia
dataset today.
DBpedia is a community effort to extract structured information from
Wikipedia and to make this information available on the Web. DBpedia
allows you to ask sophisticated queries against Wikipedia and to link
other datasets on the Web to Wikipedia data.
