WiktionaryDumps to words

Use the wiktionary dump (input) to create a file equivalent than "/usr/share/dict/french" (output). This dump is a big bz2'ed XML file of about 800MB. The "/usr/share/dict/french" file contains one word of the French language by line in a text file. This file is available in Ubuntu with the package wfrench.

WiktionaryDumps to words is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

NOTE

Please help addressing the issues about this task on the discussion page. If you add another language, be aware that it may change in the future, and that you will need to update your example.
