Electronic Bilingual English-Punjabi dictionaries
Punjabi-English and English-Punjabi dictionaries have been incorporated in Akhar, which can be invoked  by clicking on any Punjabi or English word and the meaning of the word is displayed in a new window. Optionally the user can also browse through the dictionaries or type a word in the edit box to get its meanings. The dictionaries can prove very helpful for persons working on Punjabi-English or Punjabi-English translation. The user can just select one of the meanings and replace it with original word and no typing is needed. For example, if a translator is translating a typed English text into Punjabi and if the word Language has to translated, then the user can double click on the word and instantly the English-Punjabi dictionary will be opened and the Punjabi meanings of the word are displayed (Fig. 3). The user can select the appropriate Punjabi word and click the Replace button and the word Language will be replaced by BaSa in the text. Similarly the Punjabi-English dictionary can prove to be very useful for Punjabi to English translation (Fig. 4).
