Try some of the online dictionaries. I have never seen such a list separate from a dictionary but there may be a way with Oxford, Chambers etc.

It's from 1898. I could use it if we were in the 19th century.

That was a quick & dirty search, indeed. With a bit slower and clean search you could probably find better resources.

Possibly you could iteratively use the libraries of the university in order to produce your own database of synonyms.

In Wordnet FAQ, they say there is a 'well documented' ASCII database.

I just looked and they only offer a file that their apis manage but I will keep looking. Who seems to have quality and in several languages is wordreference.com but they will not give it to me. I wonder who they are. The same with those of Microsoft Word.

I hope you will find something useful. Good luck.

I am seeing the format of the wordnet data. What happens is that in order to extract you have to study everything well and make a program. That takes time and I guess that is why nobody has extracted it to xml

Try: Google Translate[^]

Or see this list: Thesaurus.com Alternatives and Similar Software - AlternativeTo.net[^]

If you are looking for a way to translate application resources, take a look at: Zeta resource editor[^]

It is a good program to translate resource files. What I am looking for is all the synonyms of the English language for my program "similar to Google" (like an egg to a sardine).

NHunspell includes a managed implementation of the MyThes thesaurus:
Spell Check, Hyphenation, and Thesaurus for .NET with C# and VB Samples - Part 1: Single Threading[^]

Or you could try to extract the raw data from the original source:
GitHub - hunspell/mythes[^]

Very thankful. What happens here is that someone should take the time to export this information to xml so as not to have to use the api compulsorily.
