All Known Implementing Classes:

WiktionaryTranslation

public interface IWiktionaryTranslation

Represents a lexical translation of a IWiktionarySense. A translation is defined by the translated word form and the target language the translated word form belongs to. In addition to that, there can be a transliteration (if the target language uses a different script) or grammatical information given to clarify the usage of a certain translation. Although each translation belongs to a certain word sense (e.g., retrieved by IWiktionarySense.getTranslations()) there can be translations that have not (yet) been assigned to a word sense. Use the unassigned sense (IWiktionaryEntry.getUnassignedSense()) to retrieve them.
