a free
online tool,
which will enable you
to

Caoimhín Ó Donnaíle, SMO
has developed a
browser based tool "Wordlink"
with functionality like
"Babelfish" (see the
website
babelfish.altavista.com
or Google.com/language_tools?hl=en),
i.e. a web based
application which can
convert web pages to
pages where all words
(like the outputs from
the desktop application)
are linked to online
dictionaries. The
resulting webpage are
word by word be linked
to online dictionaries
(i.e. not just
translated)
Try out Wordlink here

form to assist us
improving the tools
The program source for
Wordlink is CopyLeft and
may be improved,
modified, reprogrammed,
distributed, and used in
any way you find
suitable as long as new
versions and derivates
from the original are
also CopyLeft
An up-to-date copy of
the Wordlink and
Multidict program source
online is available at:
http://www.smo.uhi.ac.uk/~caoimhin/obair/pools-t/wl/
It includes the dictpage.php,
the program which allows
lookup of words in
page-image dictionaries,
such as those available
on the Web Archive, and
also a complete sql dump
of the database,
including the parameters
needed to for about 100
different online
dictionaries, and the
indexes to several
page-image dictionaries.
