RE: Translation question

would it be worth taking an english dictionary and throwing it up against almisbar and parsing the data from that? ie using a robot to collect that dictionary as quickly as possible? someone would have to read over it later, but I was looking at it yesterday and I think PHP could go to the URL, submit a word from a US dictionary, or vice versa, and then get the response to store in mysql.

Salam

as an online reference I am using Almisbar which is great
in conjunction with lisan al3arab. That's all!!! and the
dictionary is great, I also use my Sister which studies
english at university ;)
I for myself don't think a dictionary alone would make it
BUT Almisbar is the best dictionary I found out there.

cheers

Salam,

Can anyone tell me what is the translation of the 'cyan'
color ? It  would be unfortunate that with a language so
rich in color-related  words, we translate it to
'sayani' !!! (The same happened with  'magenta', I
finally found in Ajeeb that it was 'orjowani'). Or, is
'sayani' an Arabic word ?

Does anyone know about a reference that could help in
translating  color
names for ex. And if someone knows about a 'complete'
online arabic  dictionary (containing general words, not
necessarily computer ones),
please 
let me know. Ajeeb is good, but i couldn't find 'cyan'
for example. I am  trying to compile a list of
references to add to the 'Translator Guide'.

In short, what are the online references you are using
while  translating +
How do you translate 'cyan' ? :-)

Youcef.
