Wikabulary

The project is aimed at community-driven translation dictionary for both professional and general-use words and phrases.

Some prototype can be seen at MaxKir.com wiki, the wiki-based dictionary specializing in translating software terms from English to Russian.

The key differences from the present Wiktionary are:

focus on translation to other language (and on definition in the other language) rather than on definition in the same language
focus on quotations and 'wild-life' examples demonstrating usage and meaning in real contexts
focus on area of use: for every professional area, discussion (and even area?) may be different -- possibly with some common sections

The reasons why it would be more efficient to run on Wikimedia instead of separated professional resources are:
