  Bilingual dictionaries are expensive resources and not many are available
when one of the languages is resource-poor. In this paper, we propose
algorithms for creation of new reverse bilingual dictionaries from existing
bilingual dictionaries in which English is one of the two languages. Our
algorithms exploit the similarity between word-concept pairs using the English
Wordnet to produce reverse dictionary entries. Since our algorithms rely on
available bilingual dictionaries, they are applicable to any bilingual
dictionary as long as one of the two languages has Wordnet type lexical
ontology.
