Check lingvaro.md for a Markdown version of the full dictionary that you can open in your browser for preview purposes or quick lookups, but you probably want to import the tsv file from a spreadsheet or use the script above instead.

Disclaimer

This is the work of a hobbyist. The source is a mix of usage I have learned after years speaking these languages, some lookups in dictionaries and internet, and many clarifications during language lessons.

Some translations may be wrong and some sentences may not be idiomatic. Some of the grouping by section may not make sense to you.

Please note that I am a native Spanish speaker from the south of Spain, I speak (mostly American) English fluently, I can speak reasonable Esperanto and some German and (the Zürich dialect of) Swiss German.

Swiss German has no written form but is often approximated as a phonetic translation, so there's some variation expected.

Feedback is welcome, just propose changes as issues or pull requests via GitHub.
