Hi,

I decide to build new dictionary website.

But its going to be
-free entry style
-if user highlight and give (for ex. click to -link- button) link to the word, it will be divert to page which contain information about that word.


same as this websites: http://lafmacun.org/
or this http://www.bilisim-kulubu.com/sozluk...?e=ALTER+TABLE

or : http://sozluk.sourtimes.org/Default.asp?



is there any ready sites avaiable for build a sites like them ? like joomla, mambot ext..
or any idea where should I start..
thank you..

Pretty easy stuff. You need:

1. list of words and meanings
2. php scripts for:
adding to dictionary, looking up words from list, etc

(instead of "php scripts" you can use many other languages depending on platform - cgi(c++/perl), aspx, even, it seems, just xml and xsl)

It is probably much easier to find ready-made free software for doing this thing. But the work for making it yourself is little and pays off when you want to develop it further.

I started reading about XML yesterday and it's possible that some people would find it easier to do the whole thing as an XML project.

What language is the dictionary for anyway?

thank you for your reply.

That `dictionary` which I have told, not like language dictionary.
Its going to be like lexical free platform, but in my language we call it "Dictionary" too..

Sorry for confiuse you.

For example;

If hightlight one word and click to "hidden look" it`ll seem * (as star) and when you mouse over on the star (*) that word which has been wraped will comes up..

ext..

Any language, any word will be in project.

I am looking like Content Management for this project actualy..


thanks again..
