The CFDICT project is the project to provide a Chinese ⇔ French free dictionary by translating the Chinese-English cedict.

As of October 2006, this is just a project under discussion.

• Main Contributor : Hugo LOPEZ , French student in chinese, able to make about 2.000 chinese ⇒ french translations.
• Strategy :
  1. Wait the update of CEDICT's format ;
  2. Make about 6.000 chinese-english ⇒ french translations ;
  3. Build a french page to contribute online, such as this english one (will need help and host);
  4. Find better contributers to continue the work to 30.000 entries (french teachers and sinologues across France) ;
  5. [ One day : Merge the english CEDICT, the french CFDICT and all the CEDICT translations ].

I [Hugo] will start the work as soon as the first step will be stable.
