Translations will definitely be covered soon. Word classes and
definitions should be already included (maybe buggy but mostly). Whats
the issue there?

> For word-class categories, it seems to me that the OLIF list (in 3.2.1 on page 14 of http://www.olif.net/documents/NewOLIFstruct&content.pdf) resembles more than the GOLD list the categories that generally appear in conventional lexicographic resources. In PanLex, we have somewhat extended the OLIF list to:
> 
> adjv	adjective
> advb	adverb
> affx	affix
> auxv	auxiliary verb
> conj	conjunction
> detr	determiner
> ijec	interjection
> misc	miscellaneous
> name	proper noun
> noun	noun
> post	postposition
> prep	preposition
> pron	pronoun
> verb	verb
> vpar	verb particle

we will use a finer granularity (as it is found, wiktionary uses many
more) and therefore use a finer ontology. we think about using OLiA [1]
(which is good for linking to other resources).
> For language identifiers, I have found a combination of ISO 639-2 collective codes and ISO 639-3 and ISO 639-5 codes, supplemented by differentiators of varieties distinguished by lexicographic resources, useful identifiers (http://panlex.org/u). (Safari 5.1 opens pages like this very slowly.)
i dont really get that page. we have the glottolog ontology (not
published yet) that covers the iso 639-3 languages but extends them to
dialects and orders them hierarchically (language families). this sounds
promising. 

but although we may use our own stuff, i think you will be able to
integrate well. 

regards and thanks for your interest,
