.acx files are optional, so no need to worry about that (see http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Acx for what they do, I don't think they're able to deal with the German double-s unfortunately). > Concerning the bilingual dictionary, some months ago I created the > file apertium-es-de.es-de.dix just by copying the bilingual dictionary > of the directory en-de from the incubator and changing manually > English words by Spanish ones.

Sounds like a good start, although after doing the closed classes (pronouns, conjunctions, etc.) it would be a good idea to prioritise sort the words you are about to translate by frequency.

How could I do that? Copy-paste this http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/A_long_introduction_to_transfer_rules#Overview_of_a_transfer_file into your apertium-es-de.es-de.t1x (or apertium-es-de.de-es.t1x for the other direction).
