I haven't tried (have you?) but it shouldn't be. Nowadays plenty of people has

In English and a few other languages sure, but we have close to 200
Wiktionaries and most of those languages probably won't benefit from that tech
research anytime soon.

For a reference, see

Another step will be to wait for open source alternative of these propriatery
and nowadays lucrative systems...
