Creating a free digital Japanese-Swedish lexicon

This paper describes the creation of a Japanese-Swedish dictionary. The well known technique of using English as an intermediate language was used. A few modifications of this method are presented, such as weighting words with an idf-like measure and allowing one Japanese word to be described by several Swedish words when there is no directly corresponding translation available. For about 60,000 entries good translations are found. The lexicon has been made freely available.
