Below are some screenshots of the FULL Wiktionary converted to Plucker format. The full content of the Wiktionary was fetched page-by-page using a local instance of Wiktionary, after many custom modifications were made to the Mediawiki software that drives it, to make it more usable on handheld devices.

If you’d like me to convert other works of this quality email me and let me know.

To view this in the best format possible, you can use my Plucker Anti-aliased fonts. I’ve converted the fonts shown here in these screenshots here into a format suitable for Plucker.

When this project is fully completed, I will be making it available for download at a modest cost for any and all users who are interested in having the full Wiktionary on their Palm device. This project took roughly 30 hours of time to modify, write some additional conversion filters, import and convert. The conversion process takes roughly 3 hours for each pass, on a fast machine. Its BIG.

This version is roughly 14 megabytes in size, currently with 52,517 entries interlinked between thousands of pages. Everything you see in the screenshots below in red, is a link that does not yet exist in Wiktionary. I will be updating this work on a regular basis, so that it continuously improves and continues to grow over time.

If you think my work is valuable, please consider donating to the Plucker project, to help encourage more works of the same quality and design.
