     INFORMATION ABOUT THE DICTIONARY TITLE: English - Hindi Dictionary :
     Version-2.0 (with example sentences) DEVELOPERS: Language Technologies
     Research Centre, IIIT, Hyderabad, India. FUNDED BY: Satyam Computers
     URL: http://www.iiit.net/resources/overview.htm LICENCE: General Public
     Licence REMARKS: Developed through Voluntary Collaborative Effort.
     Quality not uniform. The English-Hindi Dictionary Version 2.0 contains
     approximately 25,000 English headwords. For every English headword it's
     possible Hindi meanings are given. For each meaning an example sentence
     is given to show the context in which the meaning occurs. In most cases
     the example sentences are in English. But there are cases where the
     example sentences are given in Hindi. This dictionary has been
     developed through a Voluntary Collaborative effort. Since the
     contributors of the data base are from varying backgrounds, including
     school children, the quality of the content is not uniform. There is no
     claim of excellence in quality. In fact, it needs to be further
     improved. The idea here is to provide a basic electronic lexical data
     base for English- Hindi which the users can further improve and develop
     according to their needs. This dictionary is being released under the
     General Public Licence (GPL). This licence allows you to make copies of
     the dictionary and distribute freely. It also allows you to build on
     top of this dictionary or a part thereof and redistribute the resulting
     work. However, essentially, there is only one condition: the resulting
     work must also be licenced under GPL (See a copy of GPL Licence for
     more details). An effort has been made to make the entries as complete
     as possible. However, a number of entries need elaboration.There are
     entries which have their Hindi equivalents but no example sentences.
     There are entries where the English headword is given with its
     grammatical category but does not have either the Hindi meaning or an
     example sentence. There are also entries which have the english
     headword, its grammatical category, an example to show its semantic
     content, however, it does not have the Hindi equivalent for the same.
     These gaps have yet to be filled. Work will continue to complete the
     missing pieces of information. Users are invited to join the team of
     volunteers engaged in adding to and refining the dictionary. At the
     very least they can point out the errors to us. See the website for: 1.
     Dictionary Format and Special Symbols Used. 2. Abbreviations of the
     Grammatical Category Names. 3. Data Sources. 4. Contributors. 5. You
     can contribute too!!! Your Valuable Feedback can be sent to
