More examples extracted from Wiktionary

Wiktionary dictionary entries sometimes have examples or citation and we already extracted some of them in certain languages. With the work from Emmanuel Mayoux-Li, our undergrad intern, we added more languages and also fixed obsolete extractors to better get such examples and citations. For instance, this is more the 350,000 examples in German that were rencently added to the DBnary dataset.

Such examples may be interesting for researchers that want illustrations of a word sense usage in a real sentence.

As always, do not hesitate to ask for features on our gitlab.
