I would say it's excellent as a thesaurus which can be used for cross-lingual tagging, named entity recognition, topic detection, and similar NLP tasks. For literature grade translations, that is, for a true dictionary, I believe that you need to full range of nuances attached to each word and each word sense, which is distinct from the platonic concepts described by data items. -- daniel _______________________________________________ Wikidata-l mailing list Wikidata-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l
