Comment on Alar: The making of an open-source dictionaryparent

Comments

To name a few (each have data that can be downloaded):

- Jibiki.fr (Japanese-French)

- CFDict (Chinese-French) https://chine.in/mandarin/dictionnaire/CFDICT/

- 教育部臺灣閩南語常用詞辭典 (Taiwanese Hokkien) https://twblg.dict.edu.tw/holodict_new/ https://github.com/g0v/moedict-data-twblg

- 台日大辭典 (Taiwanese Hokkien-Japanese) https://github.com/fhl-net/Lim-Chun-iok_2008_Tai-jip-Tua-su-...

- Littré XML (French) https://www.littre.org/faq

- 重編國語辭典修訂本 (Chinese)

Note that all have different, sometimes incompatible license. In particular dictionaries from Taiwan's Ministry of Education usually don't allow derivatives.

There is also a lot of dictionaries digitized on Archive.org that felt into public domain would require transformation into text (actually the Jibiki project did that with the Cesselin).
