Answer 1

The Wikimedia foundation provides XML dumps of all of its projects, including the English language Wikipedia.

Parsing an English-language wiki article for inter-language links is fairly easy: the syntax for such links are [[language_code:Name of other language Wikipedia article]], where language_code is usually a two or three letter code (such as tlh for Klingon), based on an ISO standard except for a few exceptions, such as simple for Simple English.

Wikimedia provides dumps of Wikipedia in different formats at download.wikimedia.org.
