Hi Ro (is that the right way to address you?), congratulations on your project, I hope it succeeds.
The first thing is the scope of your project. Since you aim to get words and definitions, I think what you want is the New Concise Pali-English Dictionary. This was created by for SuttaCentral, with most of the work done by @Russell .
The basic source is Buddhadatta’s Concise Pali-English Dictionary
The first half of the entries are corrected according to Margaret Cone’s Dictionary of Pali.
It focusses on words found in the Tipitaka
We are waiting until the remainder of Cone’s dictionary comes out, then we will continue with the letters after N.
Our dictionaries are in JSON and will easily support translation.
