Hi friends,
I have a requirements to build a data base with bilingual dictionary. Upto certin limit i found many threads on how to structure the DB table. But from where i can get the dictionary itself? I need The raw material (in excell or xml) to fill the DB. Any one can help with this?
Thanks.

A simple goggle [^]search seems to indicate there are plenty of sources out there!

Thanks RAH for your reply, I guess i was not clear maybe in my previous question, I have few sources for the English dictionary, and other languages. But what I want to build is a kind of Offline Translator:
- Language 1 --> Stored in DB.
- Language 2 --> Stored in DB.
- Language 3 --> .....
And as am typing a word in my application it will search for the translation in the DB.
The challenge no is From where i can get the source of the Bilingual Dictionary for example (English - Spain) in xml or excell.
any advice?!

Ah I see, not going to be able to help, the few times I have done multi lingual apps I have forced the client to supply the translations, publicly available info was inadequate to the requirements especially when dealing with a technical subject.

You may be able to purchase such a thing. Be careful of downloading information for copy-write laws.

I Totally Agree, but really am not yet able to find any company I can purchase from them the files. It is really hard

http://www.freedict.org/nl/[^], or search for the Ergane-database. IIRC, it's a (free) MS-Access database which uses the Esperanto-language as intermediate to go from one language to another.
