Electronic dictionary of the Irish language

This electronic Dictionary of the Irish Language (eDIL) is a digital edition of the complete contents of the Royal Irish Academy’s Dictionary of the Irish Language based mainly on Old and Middle Irish materials.

Funding for the digitisation was provided by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (UK).

For the first time users will be able to make complex searches of translations, citations, grammatical descriptions and sources.

The eDIL team is now beginning the task of revising the content of the Dictionary itself. It is projected that the project will be completed by 2012.

This summary is based on information gleaned from the DIL website
