# Spanish Wiktionary

## Motivation

Multilingual datasets based in Wikimedia Foundation's Wiktionary tend to use its translation system to fetch non English words, what causes a lot of words and definitions being discarded.

## Development

In order to solve this, I wrote a [custom parser](https://github.com/elcapo/eswiktionary_parser) that obtains the definitions straight from a dump of the Spanish Wiktionary. Both the parser and the dataset will be developed in harmony.

## Stage

Both the parser and this dataset are in a very early stage of development but they already provide a list of 873.990 definitions that are easy to read and process for machine learning purposes.

## Contact

Feel free to [contact me](https://github.com/elcapo) if you are interested in contributing with either the parser, or the dataset.
