'''OmegaWiki''' is self-described as a "collaborative project to produce a free, multilingual resource in every language, with lexicological, terminological and {{tag|thesaurus}} information". In other words, "information on all words of all {{tag|language|languages}}," a multi-lingual {{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}}, making it possible to use the [[wiki]]s data for many purposes. | '''OmegaWiki''' is self-described as a "collaborative project to produce a free, multilingual resource in every language, with lexicological, terminological and {{tag|thesaurus}} information".

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. | As of Feb 24, 2011, OmegaWiki had portals in 292 languages, representing the theoretical number of languages a word could be defined in.
