i have been thinkin since i use my zune a lot cuz it has the calulator and stuff that this would b a good idea cuz i always forget french words
it doesnt even have to no every word just some common verbs in past future and prensent tences cuz i always forget those
hopefully some1 can make this thnx

This would be great to have on the zune. i take french and forget words all of the time. it would be even better to have it also in spanish, german, and maybe other languages

[Deathbot64]

ya that would b awsome

If you had around 10 people go through and type up the translations in lists, I'm sure this would be fairly simple. Have it so you scroll through the alphabet to the correct letter, then through to the word (ie. first screen scrolls a-z, say S, second screen shows all S words) or maybe a search bar if possible... Then when you find the word in English, you could select the translated language from a dropdown menu, or it could show all the translations on the screen, which would be even simpler.

This is about as likely to happen as the bible that was requested some months ago.

While I wouldn't want that on my Zune, aren't there enough online versions of the bible that someone could just copy/paste the text in and make it searchable by chapters?

Anyways, I wholeheartedly support a Zune translator, kinda like a cropped version of Babelfish, except without whole phrases which would probably be too hard to input with the Dpad.

Useful? Maybe. Possibly? Unlikely.

Dear god, grammar, fool, grammar! If a red line appears under your words, it means FIX IT, cause I sure as hell don't want to spend time deciphering what you mean. =S

[Deathbot64]

Does anyone know a good source of data for such a dictionary?

Making a translation dictionary from scratch would be a tremendous effort (and a tremendous waste of effort as well), but there might be dictionary source data out there. It would be relatively simple to build an app around said data.
