Le servicio Translating Dictionaries de Travlang utiliza le technologia de
un programma appellate ERGANE, que traduce ab un lingua a altere usate --
crede lo -- Esperanto como lingua intermediarie. Perque le parolas de
Esperanto non habe duple sensos (quasi sempre), le dictionario Ergane opera
assi:

    QUESTION:
    portugese "cão" = francese "?"

    TRADUCTION:
    portugese "cão" = esperanto "hundo"
    esperanto "hundo" = francese "chien"

    RESPONSA:
    portugese "cão" = francese "chien"

Pro disponibilizar Interlingua in le Translating Dictionaries, nos deberea
saper como crear le archivo con le correspondentias inter le
parolas/expressiones de Interlingua e le parolas/expressiones de Esperanto
('can' = 'hundo', etc.), e il habera un dictionario ab Interlingua a
qualcunque altere lingua ja disponibile in le sito de Travlang.

Michael forsan sape como facer isto, o ille al minus potera indicar nos le
adresse del autores de Ergane pro que nos obtene iste information con illes.

HELLO, MIKE, how are you? I'm still in debt with you, for I still have to
prepare those sound files of spoken Interlingua. But as you probably could
deduce from the above the affair today is Travlang's Translating
Dictionaries. Do you know how we could create the Ergane files with the
Interlingua--Esperanto word/phrase correspondance table so that Interlingua
could be added to your site as a new language option? Or should we get in
contact with Ergane's author(s) to get this info?

Waiting for your (like always :-) ) prompt response,
--
