Palabra - A web based multilingual Dictionary

By ramiro - Posted on January 12th, 2005

Palabra is a Web based multilingual dictionary application that lets users add and modify the descriptions of word entries. Palabra is written in Perl and stores the data in a MySQL database. During the look up process words are added to the database unless they already exist. Entries are case-sensitive and not censored. All users can modify the description of the chosen word. Descriptions may contain certain HTML-Tags to structure the content. Disallowed tags are stripped. Users can add translations for existing words for all available languages.

We are a small translation

We are a small translation agency and plan to make some of our glossaries available online. Is there any live demo of this application available?

No there is no live demo

No there is no live demo online. To test the application you need to checkout the CVS sources. I haven't worked on a easy installation procedure and the installation process is not documented, thus installing palabra is actually not an easy task.

Can you post some

Can you post some screen-shots if there is no live demo? That would be helpful.

There is no demo, at least

There is no demo, at least none that I set up or know of. I also don't have a working installation and do not further develop palabra. Unfortunately, I don't have screenshots to show.
