[Wikitech-l] Do we have any data in wikidata / wiktionary that could be used for mechanic translations?

I was looking for a free (possibly open source) provider of automatic translations for my open source application I am working on and quite had troubles finding some. Then I realized we have a project called wiktionary which could possibly (I was assuming it's open dictionary) help me here, but I

Just to extend the idea little bit so that it's easier to answer do we have this? (I am pretty sure we don't): This service should be able to do things like this: TRANSLATE hello there, how are you FROM english TO chinese (preudo-query language is just for this example so that it's clear what I

If you Petr were going to take a rules' based approach to what you've outlined above, and use the already existing Wikidata interlinguality, which I think is based around the 'item with a label' (think a Wikipedia Encyclopedia article - is this correct?), and build on Wiktionary, could one

2014-05-22 Thread Chad
I've just undone the mistake I made almost 5 years ago getting FlaggedRevs turned on for mw.org with no consensus[0]. The average review time was 58 days. There were over 50 pages pending review (I didn't bother paging) The vast majority of edits are harmless/productive and don't need review.
