Written in the Ada programming language, William Whitaker's Words Latin dictionary provides definitions and grammatical analysis of words found in Latin texts. It can deduce the dictionary form of a word based on the form actually found in a text. It can handle Latin words, phrases, or whole files. The dictionary contains some 39000 entries, as would be counted in an ordinary dictionary. This may generate many hundreds of thousands of 'words' that one can construct over all the declensions and conjugations. A few hundred prefixes and suffixes further enlarge the range. These will generate tens of thousands of additional words. An English-to-Latin feature uses the same data to provide the Latin equivalent of an English word.
