I have my own project for digitising an old book. (To digitise is to convert printed media into computer data.)
It is Thai-to-Chinese dictionary which was firstly published in 1963 by Prasit Chawalitthamrong (ประสิทธิ์ ชวลิตธำรง), same person as ชวน เซียวโชลิต and 蕭元川. I have got this copy with green cover from old bookstore long time ago. It provides the list of Thai words followed by Chinese definition without sentence example. All Chinese texts are presented in traditional style (of course). It also includes some outdated Thai words which are spelled different today. However, most of them are still usable.
I want to convert this book since its copyright will expire in a few years (1963+50=2013). There are about 800 pages so it must be a hard work. I am expertised in Thai language but not Chinese, so I must do it with some foreign friends. The current progress is still less than 1%; I have just started at introduction pages. You can take a look at this URL: http://zeta.bond.in.th/zhdict-intro1.html If you want to help and have ability to input Chinese effectively, please contact me. (No commission, sorry.) |
