The Collaborative Spanish-English Dictionary

Description.

The Collaborative Spanish-English Dictionary looks up Spanish words for you electronically. If you use the Wordbot, it does it by clicking on the word.

Help!

The Dictionary desparately needs a free electronic dictionary to use as its starting point. Right now, the Dictionary is based on a 1200-word piece of junk, and is useless until we get a larger one. If you know of one, contact Marc Friedman at friedman@cs.washington.edu .

Disclaimers.

The dictionary is provided free of charge, with no promises about quality. Actually, I do make one promise about quality--the quality of the underlying wordlist sucks!

Help collaborate!

When I've finished writing the interface, you will be able to correct definitions and conjugations, as well as add new words.

Features.

The dictionary can deduce forms from stems of verbs, nouns, and adjectives. At first, it tries to deduce the various stems of a verb from the infinitive as though they were regular. It does final-consonant changes (coger, averiguar) correctly. It will be wrong at first for stem-changing verbs, until the correct stems are entered. Wildly irregular verbs and are not handled.
