Launched on March 22, 2004, the French version of the Wiktionary provides definitions for 370,000 words. It is maintained by a small but very active community.The Wiktionary is a free and open source dictionary project hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation alongside the Wikipedia encyclopedia and a dozen other projects in many languages. The French Wiktionary aims to describe in French all the words of all languages. On a monthly average, 270 people contribute voluntarily.
The French version of the Wiktionary surpassed 1 million pages in 2008, 2 million in 2011 and 3 million in 2016.
It attracts the production of academic studies on its content but also specialists who integrate their work in the Wiktionary. This is the case of the Dictionary of Animal Sciences and the lexicon published by the French Committee of Cartography.
Each month, more than 2,000 example sentences are added from various texts, highlighting the richness of the French language as it is spoken around the world.
With its 350,000 daily visitors, the Wiktionary has established itself in 15 years in the landscape of dictionaries available online.
