This project aims at building an Open Source (GPL) wordlist to be used in public dictionaries for both online and local use. This dictionary's main focus is to present a means to translate a very broad range of English terms to Arabic. This wordlist/dictionary's focus is a general one and is not specific to any field.
Notes
- Categories, per term, need to be added.
- 'Z' is 100% complete.
