I think this is a great idea given you find a committed set of people to fully complete this project (we certainly don't want to start something this specific - comparatively there aren't that many French/Spanish speakers involved in Arabeyes - and not complete it). Another thing to consider (or a first step in this potential move) is to find Open Source dictionaries (the more the better) of English <-> French and English <-> Spanish, that way we can (via a very primitive perl script) simply replace the english in our full_wordlist files with its equivalent French/Spanish. > Then, arabeyes won't be considered anymore as a website for only > Middle-East people as it focuses on English-Arabic. I'm not sure what that means - but we've never constrained ourselves to any rejoin - we are for all Arabs and those interested in Arabic EVERYWHERE.
