FUNDED BY: Satyam Computers URL: http://www.iiit.net/resources/overview.htm LICENCE: General Public Licence REMARKS: Developed through Voluntary Collaborative Effort. Quality not uniform. The English-Hindi Dictionary Version 2.0 contains approximately 25,000 English headwords. For every English headword it's possible Hindi meanings are given. For each meaning an example sentence is given to show the context in which the meaning occurs. In most cases the example sentences are in English. But there are cases where the example sentences are given in Hindi. This dictionary has been developed through a Voluntary Collaborative effort. Since the contributors of the data base are from varying backgrounds, including school children, the quality of the content is not uniform. There is no claim of excellence in quality. In fact, it needs to be further improved. The idea here is to provide a basic electronic lexical data base for English- Hindi which the users can further improve and develop according to their needs. This dictionary is being released under the General Public Licence (GPL). This licence allows you to make copies of the dictionary and distribute freely. It also allows you to build on top of this dictionary or a part thereof and redistribute the resulting work. However, essentially, there is only one condition: the resulting work must also be licenced under GPL (See a copy of GPL Licence for more details). An effort has been made to make the entries as complete as possible. However, a number of entries need elaboration.There are entries which have their Hindi equivalents but no example sentences. There are entries where the English headword is given with its grammatical category but does not have either the Hindi meaning or an example sentence. There are also entries which have the english headword, its grammatical category, an example to show its semantic content, however, it does not have the Hindi equivalent for the same. These gaps have yet to be filled. Work will continue to complete the missing pieces of information. Users are invited to join the team of volunteers engaged in adding to and refining the dictionary. At the very least they can point out the errors to us. See the website for: 1. Dictionary Format and Special Symbols Used. 2. Abbreviations of the Grammatical Category Names. 3. Data Sources. 4. Contributors. 5. You can contribute too!!! Your Valuable Feedback can be sent to dipti@iiit.net The POS element contents do not follow the typology given in the FreeDict HOWTO.
