Wiktionary is a sister project to Wikipedia whose purpose is to create a free wikiwiki dictionary (thesaurus, lexicon therein) in every language. Following through with Daniel Alston's idea, it was set up on December 12, 2002. On March 29, 2004 the first two multilingual Wiktionaries were developed in French and Polish. Other languages have been developed, and even more are being developed. It was on a temporary URL until May 1, 2004 when it switched to a full URL. The English Wiktionary currently has more than 50,000 entries. (The 50,000th entry was created on Nov. 24th, 2004.)

Unlike many dictionaries, which are monolingual or bilingual, Wiktionary is a multilingual and international dictionary, meaning that it tries to cover every word from all known languages.
