Dear All,

This information is mainly for the users who edit in Hindi wiki projects. Many a times you require the Hindi translation of English words while you write in Wiki. Here is an online solution for that. Just add the ID eng.hin.dict@jabber.org to your instant messenger. It support most of the messengers including GTalk, Yahoo chat, and so on.

The below mail has more details about it. Santhosh Tottingal and his team had developed it.

PS: The English -Malayalam dictionary bot is availble at: eng.mal.dict@gmail.com

To: Discussion list of Swathanthra Malayalam Computing <discuss@lists.smc.org.in>, silpa-discuss@nongnu.org


Friends,
Our English Malayalam Dictionary Jabber bot was a big success and we
have many users for that.
Today we are announcing another Dictionary bot - English - Hindi Dictionary bot.

To use this service just add eng.hin.dict@jabber.org to your gtalk or
IM contacts. Now this bot is your friend and can help you to find
meaning of an English word.
To get the meaning of the word, send that word as a chat message. Bot
will reply with the meaning. Try yourself, it is easy :)

The bot code is available in SMC git repository,
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/smc.git And it is programmed by
myself, Ershad, Ragsagar and Sarath Lakshman.
We are using the freedict-eng-hin dict protocol based dictionary for
this service.

Thanks
Santhosh Thottingal
