www.wiktionary.org (similarly to www.wikipedia.org and the like sisters) 
currently is just a stupid search box where the user needs to manually choose a 
language. Rewriting it to allow users to look up articles in different 
languages (and - for some projects - translations), using interwiki info from 
Wikidata, sounds like a worthwhile task to me.
