Doubtful. We had always wanted to start an Arabic->English Dictionary (or an arabic.wordlist), but I'm not sure there is a brute force means to do that and still capture everything there is to capture. Our best bet is to somehow build from Duali (the spellchecker) and accumulate a list that way. One other means that people have used in the past (for english) is to create internet crawlers/spiders that would simply surf the internet and save off new words they come across that they haven't seen before. We can utilize both methods, but the real question is when to do this (ie. when should an Arabic.Wordlist be started) and that conversation should be taken to the 'doc' list :-) Salam. - Nadim __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
