www.ukp.tu-darmstadt.de We present a new bilingual FrameNet lex-icon for English and German. It is cre-ated through a simple, but powerful ap-proach to construct a FrameNet in any language using Wiktionary as an inter-lingual representation. Our approach is based on a sense alignment of FrameNet and Wiktionary, and subsequent transla-tion disambiguation into the target lan-guage. We perform a detailed evaluation of the created resource and a discussion of Wiktionary as an interlingual connection for the cross-language transfer of lexical-semantic resources. The created resource is publicly available at
