Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method for creating content for electronic dictionaries. An exemplary system includes a user interface, entry filtration system, and interface tools for dictionary entry comparison, entry merge, and visual markup of changes. Many dictionaries may be accessed and used in one user interface window. A user may enter a grammatical, syntactic and semantic markup which may be helpful when the user translates a word or a text directly from an electronic document. An appropriate lexical meaning may be selected during translation from among several lexical meanings depending on a grammatical, syntactic and/or semantic context of a word or phrase.
