Oxford University Press (OUP) launched its landmark Oxford English-Sindhi Dictionary- the culmination of almost 10 years of painstaking research and development. The dictionary is the English - Sindhi version of the popular Concise Oxford English Dictionary, which is considered the world's most authoritative dictionary.

The dictionary project was spearheaded by a team of Sindhi language's foremost scholars and lexicographers who rendered this monumental work into Sindhi thus capturing the idiomatic, colloquial spoken, and written character of the language and presenting the fullest picture of Sindhi today.

Siraj-ul-Haque Memon, Dr Ghulam Ali Alanna, Qalandar Shah, Dr Fahmida Hussain, Syed Hakim Ali Shah Bukhari and Badar Abro are some of the eminent scholars who were involved in the compilation of this dictionary.

Based on the Oxford Corpus, the Oxford English - Sindhi Dictionary offers Sindhi equivalents of almost 140,000 English words and expressions. A distinctive feature of this dictionary is the use of illustrative sentences, along with their Sindi translations, to convey the exact meaning and to show how words are used in context. It is the first English - Sindhi dictionary, which facilitates the pronunciation of English words by providing the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) for guidance on pronunciation as well as the as well as the transliteration of English word in the Sindhi script. The dictionary addresses the ambiguities of grammar with the help of Usage Notes to provide clear and simple explanations. This bilingual dictionary will be an indispensable reference tool for students, teachers, academics, researchers and others who need to be proficient in both the languages.-PR

There are various simple definitions of the term dictionary given by the various authors according to their writing experience and their intellectual approach. In brief, Dictionary is just like a reference book which provided the meaning and additional information such as pronunciations, origin etc. [1]. With advent of technology the use of dictionaries has seen a paradigm shift from hard copy based book, to digital applications available on computers, online or in cell phones. A pictorial or illustration based dictionary uses pictures or drawings to illustrate and visually elaborate what the desired word means. Generally pictorial dictionaries are organized by the topic instead of being an alphabetic list of words [2]. Pictorial dictionaries include a small corpus of words, minimizing the dictionaries size and complexity. The reason is that these dictionaries hold only those words which are represented and elaborated with their pictures [2].

One of the major aims of creating this type of application is to provide a digital dictionary which is based on Sindhi Unicode. This will greatly help to provide convenience in using this application and displaying Sindhi text on old system that are not updated and are available in under developed Sindhi Schools. The Unicode provides a standard platform for displaying Sindhi text Glyphs and typing Sindhi text without additional external plugin support.

The main purpose of using hash tables over other data structures is speed. This advantage is more apparent when the number of entries is large (thousands or more) as aimed in our project to incorporate at least more than Fifty Thousand words in the dictionary. The other reason is that the Hash tables are particularly efficient when the maximum number of entries can be predicted in advance, so that the bucket array can be allocated once with the optimum size.

The methods declared are for saving and retrieval of English Word, Sindhi Word, English Meaning or Sindhi Meaning and finally fetching image or picture for the corresponding word. This same class would be used for both categories of dictionary that is Sindhi to English and English to Sindhi Dictionary. With record of each Sindhi Word, its relevant information is saved in the Dictionary Database bean as object and then the record is put into the hash table. Finally the entire hash table object is saved into a file for permanent storage usi/ng Object Serialization.

As discussed the project consists of two sections; Administrator and User Interface. The administrator section is consists of two internal sections, English to Sindhi dictionary and Sindhi to English Dictionary. The admin of the application selects which dictionary type he wants to work on as shown in Figure 6.

The Figure 8 shows the main GUI of the administrator page. The UI has been designed so that the data can be entered and saved quickly and easily. The user is able to insert dictionary records with word, meaning and also load an image file. The administrator can easily traverse the previously entered records, along with editing and deleting the invalid entries.

It is observed that in the projects of dictionaries, whether English, Urdu or Sindhi, it is very much necessary that such type of application projects should be user oriented. To achieve this goal we firstly settled meetings with reputed educational personalities, and the various editors, got their notion on how should our Sindhi dictionary be implemented. The second major criteria which we have considered in developing this application is how we can make this dictionary more and more easy for new users especially for children because our application is mainly developed for school children, young Childs and also for people living in rural areas. We also met with some project developers for the suggestions and guidelines in order to work in right directions. After that we studied various projects of the same criteria that have been made for other languages, studied their design methodology and mechanism as discussed in [25] for Pictorial dictionary of Ancient Athens, for printed Farsi subwords [26], Arabic [27] and finally we look into document image database [28].

Finally we conducted usability test and survey amongst students by letting the students use the dictionary and latter asking them to fill in simple questioners regarding the dictionary. Figure 11 shows the results of the usability survey. Amongst the 100 students that were asked to take part in the evaluation, 55 showed complete satisfaction with only 10 being unsatisfied by the system with certain reservations. ff782bc1db
