Hoi, OmegaWiki is truly multi lingual in that
depending on the amount of
content available in a language labels and annotations will show up in
the preferred language. Recently many of the relevant phrases were
localised in Telugu and consequently it became useful in Telugu.
When a language is right to left the user interface and the data is
shown in the right to left direction.
One or the more interesting things of OmegaWiki is that we do have links
to Commons and Wikipedia. This means that when you look for pictures of a
"hobune" you will actually find them. Having links to Wikipedia means
that they can effectively work as interwiki links.
These seem more like things that just _aren't_ currently done on
Wiktionary than things that need Ω because they _can't_ be. (I know the
first at least was tried, but didn't really catch on, and 'hobune' has had
a link to et.wiki since 2007—it's only convention that makes these links
on a by-entry rather than a by-sense basis.) Given that it does seem to
be a product of its own culture, I agree with Milos' idea that it would be
better as a separate Wiktionary, if it needed to take on the name of
Wiktionary at all.
As OmegaWiki has its data in a database, it is
possible to use the data
in applications.
I don't suppose it comes in an ISO 1951:2007-compatible format?
The 'view source' button and Special:Export appear to be broken. :|
