Recently I have been searching for small-size readable dictionaries and have discovered the fine-tuned Cambridge Dictionaries (Browse our Dictionaries).
Why these dictionaries are preferred? Because of the so-called semi-bilingual approach.
In case of German:
Best of the best, @hua has made several of them as mdx, including the German version as announced at Cambridge English-German German-English dictionary - FreeMdict .
However, there is no mdx found for French-English and English-French.
Has anybody here had similar endeavor to make the French mdx? Or will anybody do it?
