Hello,

you've problably seen the "Reta Vortaro", it's a big Esperanto
dictionary, providing information about Esperanto-words but also
translations of them into many languages:

http://www.uni-leipzig.de/esperanto/voko/revo/

Example: dog
http://www.uni-leipzig.de/esperanto/voko/revo/art/hund.html

It's downloadable in XML-format and - it is free under GFDL!
http://www.uni-leipzig.de/esperanto/voko/tgz/index.html

I think it would be great using this as a basic database of the new
Esperanto-Wiktionary (http://eo.wiktionary.org), but because of the
XML-format it should be easy to create word indexes of other
languages.

There is just somebody needed who knows how to convert the
XML-structure into Wiki-Code and how to import this into the existing
Wiktionaries.
