If you'll search the list archives, you'll find some posts ten years ago about wordtrans/qwordtrans/kwordtrans which can read babylon old-format dictionaries and which I then managed to make read also the Hebrew encoding. Not sure about the status of the project, but you might manage to compile and use it. Babylon's old dictionaries are not easy to find on the web, but you might be able to find some. Is there a free dictionary in book form (ie, with no copyright holders)? I don't mind typing it. As others said, I personally use only google translate these days. It's good enough, of course not as fast as a local tool if you are reading in some other software, but I did not bother looking for local tools. For reading stuff on the net, I think it's very good. You can make it show the original text and when you point at a sentence it pops up a translation. The translation is usually very bad, which is why I never use it to read the translation itself, but good enough if you only need one word. -- Didi ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

But back then they were freely-downloadable from their site, so if you manage to find one, I do not think it's a big difference if you download it now or have downloaded it then from them. They moved to a new format a long time ago and deleted all the old files. Note IANAL. 2) Google translate does not replace a dictionary, which defines the word exactly, when it's a noun, verb or otherwise, include usage examples, etc. Indeed. For this I use google dictionary. And sometimes Reuven Alkalay's paper dictionary... If it would have been sold on CDs, I am pretty certain I'd buy one. Wiktionary is also very useful. It has very little English-Hebrew material, but more stuff in other languages, and I also think that if you decide to donate some time (as you implied you might do), this is probably the place to do this. -- Didi ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Re: Open source English-Hebrew dictionary
Hi all, Is there an open source English Hebrew Dictionary? I'm interested with usable program that once you'll enter an English word, it would display the Hebrew translation. Specifically for the Android platform, but I believe that I'll be able to adapt any desktop application to a mobile device quite easily. I'm aware of the Limon project (http://www.jlc.org.il/limon/), but I'm not sure how to download the word list or the translation software. Except, the word list is not too long (6k). Is there a free dictionary in book form (ie, with no copyright holders)? I don't mind typing it. I am also interested in writing an offline android English-Hebrew dictionary. I found this site which has bilingual dictionaries, licensed under the GNU FDL, although none of them seem to be have too many words: http://dicts.info/uddl.php But I'll be happy to cooperate in preparing an application (although I have no android experience . . . ) Jason -- Jason Friedman Postdoctoral scholar Macquarie Centre for Cognitive Science Macquarie University, NSW 2109 Australia email: write.to.ja...@gmail.com web: http://curiousjason.com ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Re: moonlight
It seems that it's not only requires Silverlight 3+, but it uses non standard JS (or something else) for the play button. You might want to have some VM with XP for that kind of content.
