DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION OF DICTIONARIES 

The collection consists of all Lingvo dictionaries I could find that met the following standards:
•	were not encyclopedias, textbooks, or anything similar
•	were not multilingual dictionaries
•	did not have all entries starting with capital letters or in all capitals
•	did not have any other major flaws.
In some cases the above-mentioned problems were corrected and the dictionaries were included into the collection.

Dictionaries of languages that are not supported were also not included, with exceptions for the following languages:
•	Catalan (dictionaries of this language install as dictionaries of Spanish International)
•	Church Slavonic (as Russian)
•	Croatian (as Serbian)
•	Estonian (as Basque)
•	Japanese (as Chinese Traditional)
•	Korean (as Chinese Traditional)
•	Old Church Slavonic (as Russian)
•	Rusyn (as Ukrainian).

Dictionaries of languages that are not supported in Lingvo 12 but are supported in Lingvo x3 were included only in the collection for Lingvo x3.

Dictionaries included in the following versions of Lingvo were not included into the collection:
•	Lingvo 12 Multilanguage (build 12.0.0.356) - 133 dictionaries
•	Lingvo x3 Multilanguage Plus (build 14.0.0.442) - 194 dictionaries.

Nonetheless, dictionaries from Lingvo x3 ML Plus that are not present in Lingvo 12 ML were included into the collection for Lingvo 12.

Dictionaries from the most complete version of Lingvo x3 ML (which consists of 212 dictionaries) were included into the collection for both Lingvo 12 and Lingvo x3, except for Kazakh dictionaries that were not included into the collection.

The number of dictionaries is:
•	for Lingvo 12 - 1061 (1265 with abbreviations dictionaries), including:
•	one-language dictionaries: 326 (408 abrv)
•	two-language dictionaries: 735 (857 abrv)
•	for Lingvo x3 - 1067 (1236 with abbreviations dictionaries), including:
•	one-language dictionaries: 316 (393 abrv)
•	two-language dictionaries: 752 (843 abrv).

The maximum number of dictionaries for both Lingvo 12 and Lingvo x3 is 1024, including system dictionaries, so it is not possible to plug in all the dictionaries from the collection.

The collection has been separated into packages, depending on the language.
