Mark, if you just want the word lists for Korean-English let me know and
I'll generate them; it is about time I downloaded fresh Wikipedia dumps
anyway.

I think the wiki links are useful for offering suggestions, but using
them with checking them by hand or against another dictionary should
make you nervous. They are also less than ideal in that they do not
contain the extra information you want in a dictionary. E.g. for Arabic
they don't included the vowel diacritics (nor the roots), for Japanese
no furigana, for Chinese no pinyin, for European languages no gender.
