The SEAlang Library was established in 2005.
It provides language reference materials for
Southeast Asia, with an initial four-year focus on the non-roman script
languages used throughout the mainland.
SEAlang Library resources include bilingual and monolingual dictionaries, monolingual text corpora, aligned bitext corpora, and a variety of tools for manipulating, searching, and displaying complex scripts.
SEAlang is a collaborative effort between CRCL Inc., and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Center for Southeast Asian Studies. (CSEAS) We work closely with the Southeast Asian Studies Summer Institute (SEASSI) program, hosted by CSEAS on behalf of fourteen member institutions, including all US National Resource Centers for SEA Studies.
Primary funding is provided by the U.S. Department of Education Technical Innovation and Cooperation for Foreign Information Access (TICFIA) program, with matching funds from CRCL Inc. Other TICFIA-funded digital library programs with substantial dictionary reference resources include the Digital South Asia Library and the Tibetan & Himalayan Digital Library.
The SEAlang Library has been thoroughly tested with Firefox 2.0 (Windows XP and Linux 2.6.14), Netscape 7.2 (Windows XP), and Safari 2.0 (Apple OSX 10.4). Browswers that do not comply with W3C standards (in particular, Microsoft Internet Explorer) are not explicitly supported, and the Library resources will not display properly with them.
