Re: Dictionary Lookup

[Ossama Khayaat <ossamak at nht dot com dot kw>]

Salam,
I was thinking of one thing. Isn't there any way we can
include many meanings of a word and let KBabel or
gTranslater determine which one to use?
or at least make it available for translators to
choose the most suitable?
Also, sometimes when I notice missing words I add
them too. I hope this is ok :)
