What is in an entry
| Entries with a real translation | 67,375 (100%) |
| Entries with only a definition, no translation | 0 |
| Entries with a usage example | 0 (0%) |
| Entries with inflected forms | 63,270 (93.91%) |
| Entries with pronunciation | 34,434 |
| Senses | 90,726 |
| Mean definition length | 77 characters |
| Mean translations per entry | 2.29 |
An entry counted as “definition only” is one where the source wordnet knows the concept but has no word for it in the target language. These are shipped because a definition still helps a reader, and counted separately because calling them translations would be dishonest.
