Good work Santhosh and team. Hope this makes Kannada Wiktionarians' hard work
reach more people.

"That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for
the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted."

>Friends,
>Based on the code of our very successful dictionary bot, Vasudev
>Kamath launched English-Kannada dictionary bot service. Unlike
>Malayalam or Hindi, Kannada does not have a free s/w licensed
>dictionary database. So the bot completely relies on the Kannada
>wiktionary. See the blog post:
>http://vasudevkamath.blogspot.com/2010/11/jabber-dictionary-bot-for-kannada.html
>
>And English-Malayalam bot now uses Malayalam wiktionary along with our
>dict database. It crossed 8000 users now. I had written a blog post
>about this here:
>http://thottingal.in/blog/2010/11/20/dictionary-jabber-buddy-bots/
>
>Parsing wiktionary content is not an easy job, it still have some
>bugs. Wiktionary has highly unstructured data or machine consumption.
>
>Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi bots are running from our VPS server.

>Thanks
>Santhosh Thottingal.
