Dictionary for Norwegian (nynorsk) would be much appreciated.

Just a little update on this issue.

I'm working on an Icelandic dictionary, and I have it working but the problem 
that is stopping me is that the word list is too big, so I'm working on making 
it shorter and skipping some of the unnecessary words.

Kajsten I tried to use your word list but it will also be about 500kb too big 
after putting it into an XML file and then converting it into a binary 
dictionary. If you could shorten it and send me the word list then I can create 
a dictionary for your language.

Johcat
If you could supply me with a word list for Norwegian (nynorsk) I should be 
able to create a dictionary for you.

And a quick note to trygveaa if he sees this.
I have created a basic project for dictionaries, but I would like to have it 
similar to yours with the information dialog at the beginning and the 
dictionary logo you have with the flag. If you have a dictionary template that 
you can send me that I can use that would be great since that would enable me 
to create the requested dictionaries so that they are like yours. Otherwise I 
will use my own simple project for these dictionaries.

Another update even though it's quite late :)
I have created a dictionary for faroese using Kajsten's wordlist.

Wow cool Sverrirfannar. I've just tried it and it works, that wordlist is 
updated every 3 month or so. Is it easy to compile it ?

The format of the files are not the same so it needs to be converted. But that 
is the only thing. the compile takes no time.

It's no problem to do this once in a while. But how much does the wordlist 
really change in 3 months?

You can send me an email to my username at Gmail.com and I can give you the 
details.

Any chance of someone making a german dictionary? :D Is it just about copying 
other existing ones, or are there some sort of copyright on them?

If you have a good wordlist for german, then I can easily create a dictionary 
for you. I would not know if a worldlist is good since I don't speak german :)

But the list would have to be from the public domain. So you would have to 
check if there is any license on the list.

Well, there's always the OpenOffice one. They seem to have various gpl
licenses. I'd probably recommend the
http://de.openoffice.org/spellcheck/about-spellcheck-detail.html#dicooo ->
Deutsch (Deutschland - neu + Komposita)  .. But it's over 2mb. I don't know
if this is a problem, or if the format is a problem, but you could have a
look at it.

I tried the wordlist you recommended but since it is converted to XML before it 
is converted to a binary dictionary it was over 16MB.

So I used another wordlist with 80 thousand words that is 2MB. 

Please try it, its on the android market and is called German Dictionary and 
has sverrirf as the developer.

Nice! I see how 16Mb is a bit big. Where's this from?

It seems allright as far as i could see just now. Lacks a couple of standard
words like wir,wenn,wer,w�re  it seemed. Another issue is that some words
end with a slash and uppercase letters. Eg
W�nschen/BDIVXY Cent/S Flughafen/S Haus/Tq

This could be some grammatical stuff, i dunno. Easiest solution seems to be
just regularexpression away all slash and uppercase ends of words.

Just to keep the information here, there is now a German dictionary for 
Scandinavian Keyboard on the Market

Wordlists for Norwegian Nynorsk and Bokmål are available under the GPL from 
the University of Oslo here:
http://www.edd.uio.no/prosjekt/ordbanken/

Could the Nynorsk one be used for a nynorsk dictionary?
