Bilingual OLIF dictionaries released

Digital Sonata released a set of low-cost royalty-free bilingual dictionaries in OLIF format, optimized for use in NLP and content management applications. Translation, part of the speech, and a thesaurus article is included. The dictionaries are available at http://www.digitalsonata.com/download.aspx?type=linguisticData. Currently the following dictionaries are available:

• English -> Finnish


• English -> French


• English -> German


• English -> Japanese


• English -> Korean


• English -> Russian


• English -> Spanish

We are published at ELRA

After a few months of evaluations, agreements, and inspections, our linguistic data is published at European Linguistic Resources Association's website. The Russian - English OLIF dictionary is sold at quite a price, while the freebie Swahili, Czech and Cebuano dictionaries are distributed for free (although ELRA takes postage and media charges).

It is important to mention that all this data can be created from (usually free) ASCII dictionaries on the net using Carabao Linguist Edition.

Clarification: OLIF is Open Lexicon Interchange Format backed by SAP, especially created for NLP oriented lexica. The official website is www.olif.net.
