However, I'm not sure I understood completely what you suggest. > Is there any relation between Reta Vortaro and the Freedict project? > > http://www.freedict.de/ > http://sourceforge.net/projects/freedict/ AFAIK, there are not related. At first, I reported a wishlist bug against freedict to ask for the integration of the ReVo inside freedict. The maintainer said that at first, we needed to convert the ReVo into a TEI XML format used for freedict dictionnaries. So, Ludovic and I looked at this TEI XML format, but discovered that it doesn't work for the ReVo. The freedict dictionaries are simple translation dictionaries ("house" => "maison"), and the XML format only allows to express this simple translations. However, the ReVo is a real dictionnary: for each esperanto word, it gives a long definition of the different senses in esperanto, and also provides the translation in various languages. The various indexes are just needed to ease searching inside the database.
