No, I don't know of any public domain foreign language dictionaries.
To be honest, dictionaries are great money-makers, so I somehow doubt
that anyone will *give* you one.  But I have read a great deal of
`english' which was generated by people looking up things word by
word. I'd rather your `stupid translator' was banned by some
international convention, thanks all the same.

keep natural language away from computers!
