We need your help with editing of the entries in the dictionary. The dictionary has a selection of about 1700 most important concepts. The selection is based on large number of word frequency lists for several languages.

These languages are currently in the dictionary:
Arabic, Bengali, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, English, French, German, Hindi, Icelandic, Indonesian, Persian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swahili, Tagalog, Telugu, Thai, Turkish

We would like to have as many langauges in the dictionary as possible since XO laptop will be launched in many countries all over the world

Editing the entries takes only few hours but then the entries you have edited are connected with all other languages in the system. This system is much more efficient than common bilingual dictionaries. The dictionary also contains pictures and sound files which makes it ideal tools for young kids who are learning foreign languages.

If you would like to help us edit entries in the dictionary it is important that you do not delete rows or change the order of the entries because it would not be possible to add the entries back into the dictionary.

If you have any questions or suggestions please do not hesitate to contact me at dicts (at) centrum.cz
