Notes:


 * Database Status: old upstream version


 * Inflected forms or irregular English verbs are not encoded nicely. They
   appear in curly braces after the verb they belong to. Unfortunately
   curly braces are informally used as cross references by some clients
   presenting entries of the dictd database format. It is difficult to
   present inflectional patterns together with the translations. The TEI
   Guidelines cover only giving such patterns together with the headwords
   in the 
 element.


 * Prefixing verb translations by "to" is not nice. They should have
   v instead.

  Home: http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/ The Data was originally generated from
  Frank Richter's "ding" Database. Phonetics was added through txt2pho, a
  Text-to-Speech front end for the German inventories of the MBROLA
  project. Mr. Portele granted the right to distribute the result of the
  phonetic conversion within this project - thanks.

   Fixed about 500 entries. They were mostly broken in regard of
   braces. The first and biggest problem class were broken translation
   equivalents. Probably during import from ding is was assumed that
   translation equivalents were separated by commas, disregarding curly
   braces which were used to group inflected forms of irregular verbs.
   Another problem class affected headwords containing commas. They were
   split into separate entries. The initial bug report from David Andersen
    from 30 Aug 2004 inspired to look for broken
   entries in regard of braces. The XSLT stylesheet used for identifying
   the broken entries can be found in the file
   "testing/find-lonely-braces.xsl" in the "tools" module of the FreeDict
   CVS repository.
