Thanks RAH for your reply, I guess i was not clear maybe in my previous question, I have few sources for the English dictionary, and other languages. But what I want to build is a kind of Offline Translator: - Language 1 --> Stored in DB. - Language 2 --> Stored in DB. - Language 3 --> ..... And as am typing a word in my application it will search for the translation in the DB. The challenge no is From where i can get the source of the Bilingual Dictionary for example (English - Spain) in xml or excell. any advice?!

Ah I see, not going to be able to help, the few times I have done multi lingual apps I have forced the client to supply the translations, publicly available info was inadequate to the requirements especially when dealing with a technical subject.

http://www.freedict.org/nl/[^], or search for the Ergane-database. IIRC, it's a (free) MS-Access database which uses the Esperanto-language as intermediate to go from one language to another.
