https://github.com/sanskrit/raw_etexts/blob/master/koshaH/raghuvIra/english-hindi-technical-terms-split.pdf.txt has 2-column split ocr text. pretty good. manual labor required is mostly separating out lines and marking headwords. Must check if regex magic can be employed to some extant.

[vvasuki]

Basically work would involve marking headwords and separating entries into separate lines.

@drdhaval2785 has kindly taken up the task of generating dict from this.

@drdhaval2785 I recall that raghuvIra uses brAhmi letters for abbreviations in some places. In such cases, best to replace with devanAgarI.

Also, good to mark up equivalent hindi terms - say with {} to facilitate generating reverse lookup dicts. Can probably be done mechanically for the most part.

[vvasuki]

I suppose that this effort was abandoned by @drdhaval2785 . Samskrita bhAratI seems interested:

"Shankar from my team will call you after lunch.. we are digitizing Raghuvir’s dictionary of tech terms.. we want some guidance/ideas from you as to how to structure the txt file so that in future it can be used to build a stardic format file."

इति शास्त्रिमहोदयः संस्कृतभारत्या।

[drdhaval2785]

I hereby declare that I have not at all started anything worthwhile in this dictionary.

TSV files were received as requested at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qJRs9kczw98-zRx4gGxPfejhIagWOxb0 (thanks to Jishnu Suresh and MVR shAstrI of saMskRta-bhArati's ebhAratI sampat team).

However, several errors persist.

For example, observe that the definition here has spilled over to the next lines, and the ERROR in the same screenshot:

Earlier problems, now fixed

Earlier problems which were already fixed:

• Something seems wrong with this alphabet A attachment. alphabet B and C are better (there should be exactly 3 columns / 3 tabs per line).
• Also, please remove rows like (Eng_headword Discipline Hindi_Meaning) wherever they exist (eg. top of E-file, pqr-file).

Namaskara, Hope the file uploaded on 17thNov is as per the expectations. Please let us know for any further changes.
