'''OmegaWiki''' is self-described as a "collaborative project to produce a free, {{tag|multilingual}} resource in every {{tag|language}}, with lexicological, terminological and {{tag|thesaurus}} information".  In other words, "{{tag|information}} on all words of all languages", a multilingual {{tag|dictionary}} whose entries have definitions translated to as many languages as possible and which provides synonyms and translations for the word in even more languages.  Significantly, the OmegaWiki data is available in a relational {{tag|database}}, and it uses [[wikidata]], making it possible to use the [[wiki]]s data for many purposes.

As of Feb 24, 2011, OmegaWiki had portals in 292 languages, representing the theoretical number of languages a word could be defined in.  In its paging structure, OmegaWiki differentiates between ''expressions'' and ''defined meanings'' (which correspond in a printed dictionary roughly to entries or words and to numbered definitions).  The number of expressions in various languages is [http://www.omegawiki.org/Special:Ow_statistics?showstat=exp readily accessible] at one of the OmegaWiki statistics pages.  The most recent check of this information showed 11 languages with more than 10,000 expressions, another 63 languages with 500 or more expressions, 151 with fewer than than but still more than five expressions, and 57 languages with five or fewer expressions.
