Slovene-Hungarian Dictionary
The Comprehensive Slovenian-Hungarian dictionary is a general bilingual dictionary that is being compiled at the Centre for Language Resources and Technologies of the University of Ljubljana (CJVT UL). The Comprehensive Slovenian-Hungarian dictionary is a growing dictionary, which means that new headwords will be added in regular intervals. The dictionary compilation is done within the Network of Infrastructure Centres at the University of Ljubljana, which is funded by the Slovenian Research and Innovation Agency (ARIS). Until 2022, the dictionary was funded with the dedicated funds of the Slovenian Research Agency (ARRS).
The Comprehensive Slovenian-Hungarian dictionary is based on a concept (Kosem et al. 2018) that was prepared in the targeted research project KOMASS (the Concept of Hungarian-Slovenian dictionary: from a language resource to its user), funded by the Slovenian Research Agency and the Ministry of Education, Science and Sport of the Republic of Slovenia. The dictionary concept, which was examined and approved by the members of the international advisory panel and the experts at the University of Ljubljana, follows the state-of-the-art international lexicographic practice, e.g. bilingual dictionaries compiled at established international publishers and institutes.

Version 2.0 contains 15,362 headwords, 61,190 translations, 28,748 collocations and other word combinations, and 7,741 examples.
The dictionary is being compiled by a team of Slovene lexicographers (ranging from experienced to young colleagues) and Hungarian translators who are closely collaborating with technical staff taking care of computer assistance and maintenance. The team is also working together with Hungarian institutions and experts that are supporting them when it comes to bilingual or orthographical questions and speech technologies.
Because the Comprehensive Slovenian-Hungarian Dictionary is introducing several novelties to bilingual lexicography in Slovenia, it is an important basis for all upcoming bilingual dictionaries with Slovene as a language pair. Consequently, we are specifically focusing on the technical side of dictionary compilation, e.g. by introducing a data model enabling a connection to several resources, adjusting and upgrading the Lexonomy dictionary tool for bilingual use, as well as by preparing a dictionary interface which will take advantage of digital media.
