As of today, all the databases bar two (eng-hun, hun-eng) have been converted to TEI P5. Work can now start on tightening the schemas and adding all kinds of fancy functionality.

English - Modern Greek (TEI-P5-encoded)

2009-11-09T21:59:49Z

The 2nd TEI-P5-encoded dictionary has been released. In contrast to the Swahili-English dictionary, this one is on the one hand merely a glossary (with extremely simple entry structure) and on the other a phrase book (with some phrases or even sentences as headwords). It contains over 20 thousand entries. It is an example of (nearly) the lowest level of TEI-P5 markup conformance for FreeDict dictionaries.

Swahili-English v. 0.4.2 released

2009-11-09T21:45:17Z

Version 0.4.2, 17 April 2009. Changes by Piotr Banski.

This release contains primarily modifications of the underlying markup, in order to find a balance between TEI-P5 markup and the features of the FreeDict TEI-to-DICT converter. This is the first FreeDict release of a TEI-P5 dictionary with an accompanying DICT database -- previously, FreeDict scripts were not able to handle TEI P5 XML.

See the header or the release notes for more details.

a bunch of updates

2009-02-01T19:12:18Z

We have recently done quite a few maintenance releases of FreeDict dictionaries:

* English - Portuguese (0.2.1)
* Serbo-Croat - English (0.1.1)
* Hungarian - English (0.2.1)
* Irish - English (0.1.1)
* English - Irish (0.3)

Additionally, an Irish - Polish dictionary has been submitted to the CVS and is waiting for little fixes before it gets released.

The FAQ has grown as well. See
