Title

FREELANG - Free Dictionaries to download and Free Human Translation

Description

In 1996, as he was planning to visit Italy, a Dutchman was looking for a free Italian-Dutch dictionary on the Web. As he could not find any, Frits van Zanten decided he would create it. Tom van der Meijden wrote a small and handy (yet very clever) program to manage the word list, and they started to integrate other vocabulary lists. The DDP, Dutch Dictionary Project, was born. Versions of the dictionary were created in different languages and a team of volunteers around the world started to build web sites to distribute the program and some word lists based on their own language (Italian, Swedish, Russian, French, Esperanto...).

From 1998 to 2000, Frits and Tom progressively stepped out of the project. In October 2001, Tom, who was also the webmaster of the Dutch and English web sites, decided he didn't want to manage those versions anymore. The English version was then hosted by the French site, Freelang.com, and soon took its independence on Freelang.net, with the ambition of becoming the English counterpart of Freelang.com (i.e. not only distributing the dictionary program, but also providing many other services in the field of foreign languages).

May 3, 2002 - It is with profound sorrow that we must announce the death of Tom van der Meijden, who died suddenly at the age of 42, in Monterrey, California, USA.
