No, I don't know of any public domain foreign language dictionaries. To be honest, dictionaries are great money-makers, so I somehow doubt that anyone will *give* you one. But I have read a great deal of `english' which was generated by people looking up things word by word. I'd rather your `stupid translator' was banned by some international convention, thanks all the same. keep natural language away from computers! sebastian `the intolerant pedant' rahtz -- Sebastian Rahtz S.Rahtz@uk.ac.soton.ecs (JANET) Computer Science S.Rahtz@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Bitnet) Southampton S09 5NH, UK S.Rahtz@sot-ecs.uucp (uucp)
