Based on the word-lists of KhmerOS and SBBIC. Allows for Khmer numbers as well as the inclusion of ទី before numbers. No longer will Khmer numbers be viewed as misspelled words. We also included some better coding to make the checker better at giving you a correct spelling for a misspelled word.  Also, now the ៗ​ character will no longer cause words to be misspelled.  In this release we added more Khmer proper names as well as additional number and date combinations.  There are now 75,133 words and phrases included in the spelling checker.  Thank you to all the volunteers who made this possible!

Please help us improve this Khmer spelling checker by sending us new words and any errors that you encounter or features that you think would help by commenting below.  Thank you!

We have just found a backend that can support a collaborative online dictionary and have started to input data into it.  If you want to poke around feel free – but just remember it is in its very early stages.  After looking around the web for a backend we landed on phpmyFAQ. And although it is not designed specifically for an online collaborative dictionary, we feel it will work great once we customize it a bit.  Currently you can register at the site and to add a word click “Add Definition”.  But as we said, we are releasing this very early so that everyone can have input.  You can also look at the current definitions and comment if there is an error or even request a translation for others to help you with.

Please, give us your thoughts and ideas.

Also we will be looking for editors, those who approve new entries into the dictionary – so if you are interested please contact us or comment on this post and give us your contact information and we will be in touch.

If you have a large amount of words you would like to input into the dictionary, let us know and we can bulk import them so you don’t have to do it one by one.  Thanks!
