# Sort the words in case-insensitive way.
sorted_dict = sorted(dict, key=lambda s: s[0].casefold())

danke! :D

By the way, your screenshot shows bad alphabetical sorting. Upper-case "I" is before lower-case "b"! So I had to add a little code for case-insensitive sorting.

[code]
# Sort the words in case-insensitive way.
sorted_dict = sorted(dict, key=lambda s: s[0].casefold())
[/code]

It works!

So it's in language Bash and not in Python 😮

The Bash script is more like a series of commands. It would be tedious to write the same commands one by one again and again. It's elementary programming that depends on the commands that the operating system and environment offer.

By the way, I generated dictionaries for Pandunia and uploaded them [url=https://www.pandunia.info/panlexia/]here[/url]. Please don't share the link forward, because it's now only a very small demonstration. However, you can already see that there are lots of new dictionaries that didn't exist for Pandunia before and that for example the [url=https://www.pandunia.info/panlexia/pandunia-cmn.html]Mandarin dictionary[/url] has romanization in Pinyin and the [url=https://www.pandunia.info/panlexia/pandunia-tel.html]Telugu dictionary[/url] has pronunciation in IPA.

I will announce these dictionaries when they are bigger. We have to create more concept ids and I have to add more of them to Pandunia's dictionary to get more words in.

So it's in language Bash and not in Python 😮

Today I added a shell script for creating all bilingual dictionaries for a language at once. Execute it in Linux (native or WSL) by typing for example:
sh generate_bilingual_dictionaries.sh pandunia
And it will populate the generated/ folder with lots of simple but nice dictionaries. :)

## A

**argente** *n* silver
**aur** *n* gold

## B

**barka** *v* bless
**bina** *v* build
**brad** *n* brother

I wrote a Python program for writing bilingual dictionaries called [url=https://github.com/barumau/panlexia/blob/master/src/write_bilingual_dict.py]write_bilingual_dict.py[/url]. It is run from the command line like this:
python3 src/write_bilingual_dict.py <source language code> <target language code>

A practical example:
python3 src/write_bilingual_dict.py pandunia eng

With this command the program will read the files [i]dict/P/pandunia.tsv[/i] and [i]dict/E/eng.tsv[/i]. Then it combines together those rows that have the same concept id in the source language file and the target language file. Finally it writes a bilingual dictionary in the file [i]generated/pandunia-eng.md[/i], which is a Markdown file. The file will look a below.

[code]
## A

**argente** *n* silver
**aur** *n* gold

## B

**barka** *v* bless
**bina** *v* build
**brad** *n* brother
[/code]

It would look like this in a website:

[quote=Markdown_formatter]
[b]A[/b]

[b]argente[/b] [i]n[/i] silver
[b]aur[/b] [i]n[/i] gold

[b]B[/b]

[b]barka[/b] [i]v[/i] bless
[b]bina[/b] [i]v[/i] build
[b]brad[/b] [i]n[/i] brother

It doesn't look fancy but it does the job. Let's improve the program later to generate better looking dictionaries with more information about things like style, synonyms, morphology and etymology.
