This involves building an application that parses and reads the open-class (noun, adjective, verb) single-word part of the dictionary amenable to simple, data-base-like treatment, saving the remaining (hard to treat) part of the dictionaries, allows the user to easily add words (together with their inflection paradigms) through a friendly user interface and then combines the extended single-word data with the remaining data -- without loss of formatting information (e.g. XML comments etc.) -- into Apertium monolingual and bilingual dictionaries ready to be compiled.
Ideas and code from Apertium-dixtools could be useful. It could be interesting that the interface for adding new words is a web application.
