[casual_games] Localized word database

[david.ludwig at funkitron.com]

 If you need something more than a hash table mapping strings to whatever,
there's always SQLite.  It's an embeddable, general-purpose database
library that allows SQL-like queries and inserts, using a file as a
backend.  Its APIs support UTF8 and UTF16 strings, although I've yet to
use anything but English with it myself.  Just note, the library is C
based, so if you're developing for Flash or Java, you may want something
else.  There are bridges available that allow SQLite to be used more
easily in certain languages though, such as C++, Python, Lua, etc.

 Hello!  

    

 We have a word mini-game that we would like to localize to Spanish,
French and German.  

 In order to do this we need a word database for these languages on which
we can perform certain queries.  

    

 Does anyone
know of freely available databases?  

 Maybe some other tool which could come in handy?  

    

 Thank you!
