Wiktionary TSV generator

Summary

These scripts convert the Wikipedia Dictionary into a TSV file for easy use in your favorite dictionary-reqiuring projects.

It works by downloading a big XML dump (about 500MB) from Wikipedia's dump server, and then Python 2 scripts convert it to gzipped TSV files (one for the English Wiktionary, and one for All Languages), eg:

tsv/enwikt-defs-20180220-all.tsv.gz
tsv/enwikt-defs-20180220-en.tsv.gz

Usage

1. Make sure curl and Python 2 are installed.
2. Run ./download.sh (results will be placed in the "xml/" directory; you can run it again to resume the download if it aborts)
3. Run ./create.sh (results will be placed in the "tsv/" directory)

Lineage

This is a fork of a fork of Conrad Irwin's Wiktionary TSV generator. It's no longer running on Wikipedia's TOOL server, so this is the only way to use it at the moment.
