Wiktionary - An unique multilingual web-based dictionary

[Pablo]

"Wiktionary is a multilingual, Web-based project to create a free
content dictionary, available in over 151 languages. Unlike standard
dictionaries, it is written collaboratively by volunteers, dubbed
"Wiktionarians", using wiki software, allowing articles to be changed
by almost anyone with access to the website."

Well, I didn't know about this fact: "Despite Wiktionary's large
number of entries, most of the entries and many of the definitions at
the project's largest language editions were created by bots that
found creative ways to generate entries or (rarely) automatically
imported thousands of entries from previously published dictionaries."

To read more about the wiktionary project:

Bot: (computing) a computer program that performs a particular task
again and again many times.
Wiki: A collaborative website which can be directly edited by anyone
with access to it.

Well, here the Wiktionary main page:

Well, I think these light versions of wiktionary and wikipedia can be
useful for our learning purposes:
