offline command-line wiktionary

Rust

Offline command-line dictionary based on Wiktionary, thus supporting basically every word in every language ever.

Usage

Download the Wiktionary pages-articles.xml.bz2 dump.
- https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiktionary/
Extract the bz2.
Run build_definitions_db on the resulting xml file.
Run define to define words.

TODO

Detect languages and parts of speech automatically (is currently hardcoded)
Render Wiki templates
- This is super hard because many templates eventually resolve to Scribunto scripts, so we have to call into Lua
Resolve inflections
- Probably has to be language-specific
Additional data sets
- The ones Tangorin uses seem quite nice for Japanese
