(re)import Kurdish dictionaries

Open humenda opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

http://ferheng.org/ offers kurdish dictionaries which are already part of FreeDict. It would be good to (re)import them if they have changed at all.

@humenda As i seen before several projects incorporated wiktionari and omegawiki to their dictionaries. Maybe we should think about merging them? Also what about getting a big free list of eng words and translating them into all (some) languages by any means at least per one translated word. Would it be possible without copyright infrigement? And its offtopic but how can I contact you? Want to discuss the future of free dictionaries.

@lflserg You cannot merge Wiktionary and FreeDict. The scopes are just too different. We are not importing all dictionaries (from Wiktionary/OMEGA), rather take those where we currently don't have a better alternative. Our main scope is to acquire and redistribute free dictionaries. Focussing on one provider is against the idea.

I'm not sure about your "word list" approach, but this is unfortunately not the right place to discuss this. Would you please start a discussion on our mailing list? https://www.freelists.org/list/freedict If you still prefer an off-list contact, please clone fd-dictionaries. The commits contain my email address.
