[smc-discuss] Re: English-Malayalam Wiktionary

[Pratheesh Prakash]

There is this site called http://www.mashithantu.com/ which I think can suit
most of our needs. I suggest mashithanthu because

(1) The query feature; both Malayalam-English and Malayalam-English
dictionary are there.

(2) Suggestions - The English-Malayalam dictionary at Mashithantu is *not
that perfect*, but the suggestion feature can make it perfect. Suggestions
are accepted after being approved by the site admin.
