+'''[http://wiktionary.org Wiktionary] is a spin-off project from [[Wikipedia]] to create a complete dictionary and thesaurus in all languages.''' Wiktionary is [[GFDL]]'d naturally.
-It was just started a little while ago, but could turn out to be a useful resource for translations needed for [[Consumerium]]
+It was started on December 12 2002. It's currently running unmodified Wikipedia-software, which IMHO isn't up to the job. eg. Normal users cannot look up all articles that '''do not''' contain a specific translation (to get a list where you can contribute). This could easily be accomplished using full-text search capabilities of [[MySQL]] 4.X.
+You can interwiki link to Wikitionary using [[wiktionary:]]
+We'll be doing our translation effort in Wiktionary. We'll start that by compiling a wordlist that contains all imaginable [[product group]]s, [[product]]s and other [[glossary]] that needs to be translated to all languages.
