The Online Dictionary subsite appears to attract a lot of attention. Visitors from almost all continents are consulting the Dictionary. The number of visitors increased considerably when the Nyasa Times published an article on the Online Dictionary yesterday.

From 27 May 2010 anyone surfing the internet has been able to consult our CE-EC Dictionary. This is a huge leap forward for the Chichewa Dictionary Project. After months of intensive preparations the Dictionary is online now, and can be reached through this website, by choosing the link 'Translate', or directly through http://translate.chichewadictionary.org/. Our website builder Processix Software Development, has enabled this important move.

The Dictionary has more than 40,000 entries from English into Chichewa and the other way round.

Free access to the online Dictionary is offered to everyone, though limited to 10 searches per day and to the first lines of an entry. This enables any potential user of the online Dictionary to decide on becoming a Licence Holder with unlimited access. For unlimited access to the online Dictionary you need a personal licence code. Details you will here.

Apart from the online version, the Chichewa Dictionary Project publishes printed editions. The Project especially targets pupils and teachers of selected schools in Chichewa/ Chinyanja speaking Africa, to who printed copies of the Dictionary are given for free. Soon the second edition of the CE-EC Dictionary will appear (860 pages, A5).

By paying fees, Licence Holders of the online Dictionary contribute to the printing and the distribution of the printed version of the Dictionary. The same is true for Advertisers. Perhaps you are interested to to join your advertisement to the online Dictionary. Please contact us on the possibilities and conditions.

Financially, the Dictionary Project mainly depends on Sponsors and Buyers. Sponsors are invited to donate to our bank account. Buyers of single copies click here. For buyers of larger quantities the conditions are more favourable. They are kindly invited to contact us.

Finally, we would like you to contribute by propagating and recommending the Project. Please, forward the information on the online and printed versions of the Dictionary to those of your network who may be interested.

Your comments on the online and printed versions of the Dictionary are welcome!
