This paper describes YaMTG (Yet another Multilingual Translation Graph), a new open-source heavily multilingual translation database (over 664 languages represented) built using several sources, namely various wiktionaries and the OPUS parallel corpora (Tiedemann, 2009). We detail the translation extraction process for 21 wiktionary language editions, and provide an evaluation of the translations contained in YaMTG.
