Wikipedia Debuts Wiktionary App for Android, Built with Web Technologies

Wikipedia is making a big play for the mobile space. It's been working on the mobile version of the site, which is quite good, but it's working on several mobile apps as well, for the users that prefer apps, which tends to be quite a lot of people.

Wikimedia is now moving beyond the obvious Wikipedia app, launching the Wiktionary app for Android. As you can imagine, it's a way of accessing the wiki dictionary on your mobile device without having to go to the site.

You can look up words in 150 languages, which is most of what you'll be doing with the app. You can also get it to pronounce the word.

If you're particularly fond of a word and want the world to know about it, you can share the definition with friends and foes alike. The app is a volunteer effort, fittingly, and is built entirely with web technologies, the standard HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript trio.
