Wikipedia, a huge scale Web-based dictionary, is an impressive corpus for knowledge extraction. Authors already proved that Wikipedia can be used for constructing an English association thesaurus and link structure mining method is significantly effective for this aim. However, authors want to find out how authors can apply this method to other languages and what the requirements, differences and characteristics are. Nowadays, Wikipedia supports more than 250 languages such as English, German, French, Polish and Japanese. Among Asian languages, the Japanese Wikipedia is the largest corpus in Wikipedia.
