Hi, why not simply trim the dictionaries on compilation? The complier could just skip all entries that are not present in the bidix, couldn't it?
What's important is that the binary dictionaries, i.e. the transducers, are consistent, isn't it? The XML-dictionaries could be untrimmed, that is larger for one language than the other or containing more than the translated words on both sides. Words could be added in one dictionary at one time and in the other some other time. When new translations are introduced in the bidix the words might already be present in one or both monodixies. One advantage is that the development could more easily be distributed among several contributors. They only have to know ONE of the languages in the pair to contribute! And further, it's far easier to add a translation in the bidix than choosing the right paradigm for a foreign word. Wouldn't such a procedure make the development of a language pair much simpler?
