The request has been rejected as invalid. The explanation for
rejection is below:

According to the Language proposal policy, Language committee may
approve just a project which intends to be written in one language.
Thus, this proposal is invalid. If you want to create multilingual
Wiktionary, please create a page Multilingual Wiktionary and start
discussion about the idea at wiktionary-l. Note, also, that there is a
free content project OmegaWiki, which is in fact multilingual
Wiktionary. --Millosh  06:18, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
