for a program I am writing I would need a dictionary between Spanish and English words. I googled a while, but I could not find any database freely available. Does anybody know where or how to get such a database (preferably a simple CSV or XML file)?
So far my best idea to create such a dictionary is to create a little program that looks up an English word on Wikipedia, and uses the language links to extract the correct translation. But I don’t want to want to make a million requests to Wikipedia just to generate this database…
I don’t need anything fancy, just a mapping from one word to one or possibly multiple translations for this word. Just like a regular dictionary.
Ask around on the Omega Wiki, formerly known as the Ultimate Wiktionary or Wiktionary Z. They collect translations from all languages into all languages, and their data is available in a relational database.
