Create and share your personal lexicons in different languages with this program
Many professions have their own lists of words they use with a given sense. Also, there are people who work with foreign languages and need a lexicon of the words they use more often.
The basic functions of the program are easy to learn. To create a new lexicon, you can use the program's built-in wizard, which will guide you step by step to create a template that you can fill in with your own words and definitions, adding pronunciation, examples of use, images, and so on. The program gives you the option of downloading only the application or include a Bambara lexicon which you can use as an example to create your own lexicon. Both downloads are free.
Also, the program has an easy-to-follow wizard that will help you to create the setup file to share your lexicon with others.
The only drawback I found is that the latest version is from 2012 and hasn't been updated since then. Nevertheless, the program is fully functional in the most recent Windows versions.
In sum, if you are a linguist, translator, language teacher or work otherwise with languages, then you may find this free program useful.
Pros
- The program is free to download and use
- It is easy to use since it has several built-in wizards
- It may be useful for professionals in various language-related areas
Cons
- The latest version is from 2012 and hasn't been updated since then
The program is good, not gonna lie. Considering its time of release (almost 9 years ago) it is pretty decent. I'm using it to store concepts of new e-Learning courses I make - I can edit it freely, it is simple to use, I insert images associated with each new concept and references too. So for my purposes, it is much better than what I was doing before. I just will not give 5 stars because it is impossible to create internal categories just as it is displayed in the Bambara language sample. but the program is fairly decent.
