The aim of this paper is to propose an extended translation of the MeSH thesaurus based on Wikipedia pages.A mapping was realized between each MeSH descriptor (preferred terms and synonyms) and corresponding Wikipedia pages.A tool called "WikiMeSH" has been developed. Among the top 20 languages of this study, seven have currently no MeSH translations: Arabic, Catalan, Farsi (Iran), Mandarin Chinese, Korean, Serbian, and Ukrainian. For these seven languages, WikiMeSH is proposing a translation for 47% for Arabic to 34% for Serbian.WikiMeSH is an interesting tool to translate the MeSH thesaurus and other health terminologies and ontologies based on a mapping to Wikipedia pages.
