I profiled the Kamusi Project last week but failed to mention that they recently met with the developers of another ‘living dictionary’, PLADO (the Pan-African Living Dictionary Online), to discuss building on the Kamusi architecture to create an interlinked multilingual dictionary for African languages.

The Kamusi Project (www.kamusiproject.org) is pleased to announce that
we are about to begin work on PALDO: the Pan-African Living Dictionary
Online. PALDO will build on the Kamusi architecture to create an
interlinked multilingual dictionary for African languages, creating a
powerful communications tool that will be useful throughout the African
continent.

The first step for PALDO will be to program the database, multilingual
tools, and enhanced user interface.

You can read more about the Kamusi Project’s integration with Plado here and here.
