Hi,
I have just rapidly scanned through the documentation and have some very
basic questions about building a new language pair:

1. Can I reuse the already developed monolingual dictionaries for the
two languages?
2. Is someone maintaining an updated version (i.e. joining all
additions) of the most complete monolingual dictionary for each
language?
3. Can the two monolingual dictionaries for a new language pair have
different length (i.e. contain a different number of words) - relative
each other and relative the bilingual dictionary?

In case of a positive answer to my questions:

Does the job of creating a new language pair basically consist of "just"
creating a bilingual dictionary? In that case it would be easy to start
with some frequent words and let it grow over time.

Yours,
Per Tunedal

PS Why is the pair sv-en presented as in "nursery" if there is neither
any files left, nor any work going on?
