I am not at all sure what you are asking or proposing. Are the 'full_wordlist_*' files needed ? You bet !!! I am a very strong believer in getting these files completed ASAP (I've had 3-4 external queries about them as there are various online dictionary people looking to include Arabic to their fold). I will also be proposing we turn these 'full_wordlist_*' files into their own full-fledged project due to their importance. So to recap, I have no idea what you are asking :-) But I do know and believe that these files are very important and will serve our community greatly not only in generic translations, but in also teaching people both languages. PS: isn't this topic more fit for the 'doc' list ? Salam. - Nadim __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
