Cheers, friends.
I'm sorry if this thread has already been discussed, but before writing this post I tried to find any other former related topic over this forum, unsuccessfully. I believe my question is way specific, so, there I go.

Some friends and I have been working on the creation of an artificial language. In the beginning everything we needed was a glossary not to forget the words, but now we yet have the dictionary built, we need an application or something like that that could help us planing better the grammar, verbs conjugation and everything like that. None of us know how to program tho, so our only escape would be having a "translator creation wizard", or simply a translator-builder whatso. It would be abysmally helpful, but I've yet gone mad trying to find any related program.

Could anyone help me?
Thank you all for your attention. ▲ Collapse

I think you might want to visit this page of the Summer Institute of Linguistics website: http://www.sil.org/computing/

There may or may not be any resources for you there (mostly free). In any case, you can visit the webpages of the people who have written the software - they often branch off into more software and articles, and the pages on the SIL website may give you leads to useful stuff.

I just happened to find it in the collection http://www.millionconnections.com/Reference/Dictionaries/ as nr. 21 but as there are 168 links there I didn't manage to search any further yet

Good luck! ▲ Collapse
