Does anybody know if there exists a french/english, french/norwegian, french/swedish or french/dansih dictionary somewhere? The dictionary should be a pure database or implemented in a program running under MS-DOS or UNIX. Both commercial programs and public domain (e.g. available on anonymous ftp) will be considered. Please email me directly. Thanx. ------------------------------------ _ Asbjoern Stoeen / \ /___ Studpost 188 /___\ // 7034 Trondheim-NTH / \ / \__ Norway / \ / ___/

No, I'm not going to add yet another a "me-too" ... instead, I'm going to suggest that you post your question to soc.culture.french, or any other language you may have interest in. After all, this net is world- wide, and if anybody has such a thing, the nation of origin ought to be a good place to start looking. In fact, I'll do it for you. I'm cross-posting this article to soc.culture.french, soc.culture.german, and soc.culture.misc, with follow-ups directed to comp.misc, so you can read the responses here. Those of you in France, Germany, or wherever, who are reading this, forgive me if I can't communicate in your native tongue. Americans tend to be very bad at other peoples' languages. If you have the solution to this problem, please post your response in English if possible, or at least provide a translation.

This last one sounds humoristic to me. Your request for an English version seems to point that you don't intend to make much effort to palliate your linguistic weaknesses. In light of this, I find the first part and your request for forgiveness pretty much out of context :-) -- giacomet@ecn.purdue.edu

I don't even know what "palliate" means, let alone French! Besides, I'm only posting for a friend!
