We will present the system /DICTATOR/, developed in LML-BAS. It is used for automatic annotation, conversion and creation of a bilingual dictionary. We have developed the specification of a DICTATOR DTD, subset of TEI Guidelines for Electronic Text Encoding and Interchange and defined the dictionary entry for the system.

DICTATOR provides a large set of tools:

• creation of a bilingual dictionary in electronic form using the computational model of the dictionary entry;
• conversion of data in a printed dictionary format to a dictionary in electronic form;
• compilation of dictionaries;
• automatic annotation of a dictionary with tag set for encoding based on TEI Guidelines for Dictionary Encoding.
• electronic dictionary editing ;
• electronic dictionary upgrade;
• DB operations on a bilingual dictionary.
