Let's take a quick look at Mexico, where the Oxford of South America lives and works - Ediciones Larousse Mexico. These wonderful people with the instinct of pioneers gave the Latin American world reference books, dictionaries and cookbooks - all in Spanish. Recently, they went even further and conjured four dictionary applications based on our ABBYY Lingvo Dictionaries for iOS engine, so now owners of apple devices from the shores of two Americas can batir tambores and bailar la rumba. And we will tell you what this software is and what it can do.



Dossier: Spanish, he is Castilian, he is Ibero-Romance ...



According to Encarta Encyclopedia for 2009, about five hundred million people speak Spanish, including those for whom it is not native.

"Hearts" of the Four

Each application "Larusa" (accent on the second syllable) is such an independent, Spanish-Spanish diccionario with its own set of functions and vocabulary "stuffing".



For example, in the Basic Dictionary of Spanish, publishers have compiled detailed interpretations of words, phrases and idioms that are popular in Spanish-speaking countries, taking into account national peculiarities and language jokes.







The appendix “Dictionary of Synonyms and Antonyms” included local words and words specific to South America, and the rest of the palabras were marked with “regional” marks so that everyone would know “quién es quién”.



In the “Verb Conjugation Dictionary”, the guys from “Larussa” added almost 5000 of the most common verbos, and when you consider that almost all such verbos are inherently wrong ... In general, it will be easy for someone to use verbs in all faces, numbers and times nicely :)







The latest application from the list - “Dictionary of biographies of famous people of the world” - in fact, pocket encyclopedia. Inside, everything is as it should be: biography, labor feats and retrato. Here, for example, a card of the literary "dad" of one glorious don :)

Again, the moped engine was ours, but the functionality of each Larus application was determined by itself.



Total: the Spanish-Spanish four in unison supports copying words from texts to the clipboard and searching for words by grammatical forms, offers a list of similar options for writing. And the basic dictionary and the dictionary of synonyms-antonyms are able to translate. Sfotkal word - get a translation.







The software works on iPod touch 4G, iPad and iPhone, so “Hola, apple gadgets!”



The applications referred to in the post are only available to residents of North and South Americas, but the Basic Dictionary of the Spanish Language and the Dictionary of Synonyms and Antonyms can be purchased separately from ABBYY Lingvo Dictionaries for iOS .
