WELCOME to the QaMoose dictionary package. QaMoose was conceived in order to assist Arabeyes' on-going (as well as future) translation efforts by providing a means for users and consumers to look-up as well as suggest translation terms.
Some of the Features offered by QaMoose:
+ Two modes of operation
- Interface to a DICT server for public queries
- Term search form includes exact and substring search options
- Interface to suggest and approve terms (local)
- Ability to suggest new terms for approval
- Ability to search an approved database (db) of terms
- An 'admin' page to apply for a term inspector/approver position
- An 'admin' page to approve/reject terms [& users]
- Ability to upload/download terms to the local dictionary
- Term form includes (English, Arabic & Latin - Arabic in latin chars) + All code is UTF-8 friendly (ie. terms in Arabic are stored/displayed in Arabic - browser allowing) + A virtual keyboard so as to type in UTF-8 Arabic
among others...

QaMoose has had extensive testing (through the various public releases) and has been successfully deployed and incorporated into www.arabeyes.org
NOTE: Of interest might also be Arabeyes.org's English/Arabic wordlist.
A GPL translation list of words in access of 88,000 words.

Basic Instructions:
+ Download the package to you local machine
+ Modify dict_header.pl
- Inspect and modify file with YOUR info (username/password/domain, etc)
- Insure $embed's value is 0 (unless you're embedding this code into your site and would like to extend the look-n-feel of the package NOTE: setting this to 1 will require some customization work on your end as well on dict_main, dict_admin and dict_lib)
+ Insure availability of mySQL on your local machine - if a different database is used, make appropriate modification in dict_header.pl
+ Run `dict_create.pl'
+ Invoke (click-on) dict_admin.cgi within your browser
+ Login by entering your Super admin email and password
+ Click on 'Account:Password' to change Super admin's password NOTE: Once Password is changed the entry in dict_lib.pl is irrelevant. NOTE: All passwords are stored in the mySQL db in encrypted form.
+ Logout and now the package is ready for usage
+ Invoke (click-on) dict_main.cgi within your browser - MAIN start point
+ In order to access the DICT abilities, either start one on your machine or point to an available server on the 'net.
