Ideas for getting Indonesian-Malaysian bilingual dictionaries

1. Filtering the Indonesian lemma list. For each lemma, check whether they are also valid Malaysian words.
2. Interlanguage wiki links.
3. Extracting bilingual dictionaries from parallel corpus.

Todo list

1. Convert the Malaysian dictionary to Apertium format
2. Create a script to get Indonesian word list
3. Adding missing words from the story
4. Adding conjunctives and interjections
5. Assigning correct parameter which will be reduplicated, for verbs with meN- (id)
6. Passive form for verbs with meN- (id) (Done: V -> V no suffix, no suffix + -kan; N -> V -kan)
7. ter-, se-, peN-an, per-an
8. Alternative POS for each word
9. diper-, ber-an, ber-kan
10. Check from the inflected and derived form, whether the lemma has been added as a separate entry
11. ke-an variations -> better tag naming
