Welcome to gigadictionary.org

Gigadictionary.org is a dictionary designed to store data from all the World’s languages.

We’re serious!
The dictionary can be expanded by anybody. Everybody can enrich it with new information.
Additionally, its structure allows us to add new languages so if you speak a language that is not yet included in Gigadictionary, you can help us change it!

How to use Gigadictionary?

Type a word into the search box and press the ‘Search’ button (in the ‘Search’ menu bar).
We will search all forms of all the words within the dictionary to find everything you may be looking for.
For the results, the following information will be displayed:

language
part of speech
meanings
paradigm table (whenever a word has any different forms)

How does it work?

Gigadictionary has been designed to make the development of the project as simple as possible:

Words in different languages which have the same meaning form a group of translations.
An image may be assigned to a group to convey the meaning of the words.
To add a new word to a group it is enough to know how to refer to the thing presented in the image in a language.
Whenever a new word is added to a group of, say 15 items, 15 translations are added at one go.
In this way, everybody can add new translations without speaking a single foreign language!

Sounds smart?
You can upload a new image here.
Or view the list of pictures which need to be added some new translations.
