Attempt to create a more readable and more accessible version of the TLFi dictionary as displayed on the Centre National des Ressources Textuelles et Lexicales (CNRTL), which is one of the best dictionaries available for French but suffers from a complex and outdated presentation that greatly reduces its usefulness for the general public (though it may be adapted to academic usage).
This project acts as a new front UI to the CNRTL dictionary, with the following goals:
- a clearer presentation for search results, clearly separating definitions, examples, citations, etc. to improve reader's understanding.
- simpler and more semantic HTML markup, to improve rendering from screen-readers and allow custom styling.
- a simpler web UI, easy to use and quick to load, focusing on the dictionary search and result.
- a responsive design, so the dictionary is fully usable on any type of device.
See this blog article (in French) for more details.
