Since my Windows box burned out on me, I'm forced to work on my 10 year old Mac-Clone with Mac OS 8.6 again

But hey, it works (surprisingly good actually). Nice is, while browsing my disks, I found these text files. I have no clue where they come from, but they contain very interesting information that could be used for an AHK script.

There are 4 files:

English Spellchecker
German Spellchecker

These two files contain the correct spelling of words per line. Nothing special, but the files are huge, so very usable and complete, I guess.

More interesting are the other 2 files:

English - German
Deutsch - Englisch

These contain, you guessed it, translations of words, in the following form:

abbeissenbite off

Again, nothing special, but these files contain more, and that is very exiting and usable, namely, lines in the following form:

Abend > den ganzen Abend damit zubringenmake an evening of it
abend > Ich habe heute abend nichts vorI've nothing on tonight
Abend > Ich warte lieber bis zum AbendI should prefer to wait until evening
Abend > Wir trafen uns am AbendWe met at night

In other words, it shows possible translations of sentences for some words! So, I can imagine using this for a script in the following way: as a German to English translator, you would type "Abend", and the script would present you not only the direct translation, but also the possible sentences with the word "Abend" that might help you pick the right translation (not always easy)...

A great resource for translators

Now, I cannot script something in AHK at the moment due to the lack of a Windows box at home, or I would have created some example script myself, but I present you the files for download

DE-EN_Spelling.zip

(The files were packed on a Mac, so, the linebreaks are probably messed up in the archive. If converting them is too much hassle, let me know, and I'll try to upload a Windows-savvy version)

Enjoy!
