Hi, I've written a basic multilingual dictionary activity, as suggested by Ivan's Peru writeup. It currently translates between English and French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish, using dictionaries from the Internet Dictionary Project.
Here's the activity, which contains all of the dictionaries (216K): http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/Words-1.xo and the GIT tree: git://dev.laptop.org/users/cjb/words-activity Next steps: * I have a "Speak" button that I'd like to hook up to espeak with the appropriate accent loaded. Josh, any interest in helping to get that working? Should I just wait for the speech server? * Anyone have a better name than "Words" for this? * Note that these are adult dictionaries, not children's. We can swap the dictionaries out quite easily when we find preferable ones, though. * Need to add localization of the activity itself. * Could use a trie instead of just using Python dicts; it's a little slow on the XO. Any other suggestions? - Chris. -- Chris Ball <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
