GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE DICTIONARY
TITLE: English - Hindi Dictionary : Version-2.0 (with example
sentences)
DEVELOPERS: Language Technologies Research Centre, IIIT, Hyderabad,
India.
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.
