If you don't have Babylon engine and dictionnaries on your PC, well download right now. It is a must
You can download the Babylon builder utility for free and creating a new glossary is really simple - the source file is editable and you can copy-paste you existing list into it.

Note that there are already many glossaries on chatroom abbreviations available on Babylon (search "chatroom"), but none related to Civilization.

As nobody seemed to be interested, I did one for me.

But, as I'm cute, I share it with you, including the source file for those who want to extend / improve it.

if you can get the new list into a html-format like it is in the first post, or something prettier, i'll edit my post and put your list up.

What I did was to capture one of the lists of this thread in HTML format and turn it into Babylon format, so that it can be read by Babylon translator. What I did is intended to be used with Babylon, not as stand-alone. And I will certainly not turn it back to HTML.

The source file in the .zip is an ASCII editable file, but under the Babylon glossary format, and can be read by Babylon Builder. All these tools can be downloaded on Babylon web site, at no charge.

lol, ok, never mind then....but it would be easier to view the list without having to download anything

My intent was to create a Babylon file, not an HTML file.

But you can edit the source file that I have posted and with a small number of iterations of Search/Replace you have the HTML file that you dream of (I suppose that you know the HTML syntax)

Listen guys, just read the messages and visit the indicated website http://www.babylon.com

Babylon is one of the most popular on-line translators, that can be used with any application thanks to Optical Character Recognition. Initially provided with English-to-other-languages dictionnaries, it has now been enriched by the community with glossaries on nearly any topic you can dream of.
