The English-Hindi Dictionary Version 2.0 contains approximately 25,000
English headwords.  For every English headword it's possible Hindi
meanings are given. For each meaning an example sentence is given
to show the context in which the meaning occurs. In most cases the 
example sentences are in English. But there are cases where the example
sentences are given in Hindi.

This dictionary has been developed through a Voluntary Collaborative 
effort. Since the contributors of the data base are from varying
backgrounds, including school children, the quality of the content is 
not uniform. There is no claim of excellence in quality.  In fact,
it needs to be further improved. The idea here is to provide a basic
electronic lexical data base for English- Hindi which the users can
further improve and develop according to their needs.

This licence allows you to make copies of the dictionary and distribute
freely. It also allows you to build on top of this dictionary or a
part thereof and redistribute the resulting work. However, essentially,
there is only one condition: the resulting work must also be licenced
under GPL (See a copy of GPL Licence for more details).


An effort has been made to make the entries as complete as
possible. However, a number of entries need elaboration.There are 
entries which have their Hindi equivalents but no example sentences. 
There are entries where the English headword is given with its 
grammatical category but does not have either the Hindi meaning or
an example sentence. There are also entries which have the english
headword, its grammatical category, an example to show its semantic
content, however, it does not have the Hindi equivalent for the
same. These gaps have yet to be filled. Work will continue to complete
the missing pieces of information. Users are invited to join the team
of volunteers engaged in adding to and refining the dictionary. At the
very least they can point out the errors to us.
