Description
Experience Level: Entry
Hello,
I am an English teacher and I currently have to create vocabulary lists for my students manually. I would like to automate this process
I would like a Google spreedsheet script/macro that will take a user input of a word in English and then look up the definition using a online dictionary and synonyms using a online thesaurus.
It should then look up a the translation in German using a online translation service and return a list of possible translations.(allowing the user to select language would be a bonus but is not vital)
My idea would be something like
1. I enter a word in English
- e.g. Dog
2. The spreadsheet fills in the definition field
- e.g.
A domesticated carnivorous mammal (Canis familiaris) that typically has a long snout, an acute sense of smell.....
3. The spreadsheet fills in the Synonym Field
-e.g.
bitch, bowwow, cur, doggy, fido, flea bag, hound, man's best friend, mongrel, mutt, pooch, pup, puppy, stray, tail-wagger, tyke
4. The spreadsheet fills in the german field. If there are multiple translation It shoud list the first 5 or so.
-e.g. Hund
I would like to use free sources where possible for the dictionary and Thesaurus. If you can find a simply English dictionary this would be great as I use it for student that are not native speakers
I am willing to pay to use the Google translate API (I will do this separately and give you the key) or alternatively if you can if you can use Leo Dict for the translation that would be great too! Other translation services would be OK but I would like to be consulted first so I have a chance to test their accuracy.
I would like to be able to process each word individually or a whole spreadsheet at once.
I would like the finished spreadsheet be delivered by sharing it with me via Google Drive and setting me as the owner. I would also like a copy of any script/programming in a .txt file.
Here is an example layout
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Aq-TbCgtTZ1FdFp1ZjNIYVpVYTRJSDZTV3pyYzNBX1E&output=html
Deadline: 1 week but some flexibility for the right proposal.
Any questions please feel free to ask.
