CAPL provides pictorial lexicon

CAPL -- the Culturally Authentic Pictorial Lexicon -- provides a free bidirectional pictorial lexicon for German-English. This pilot project seeks to explore the cultural/visual differences and similarities in objects and words between languages. All images are taken in the target country and are not staged or manipulated to suit. For German, the linguistic, visual differences for beer highlight how one culture "views" its language. Russian and French prototypes are currently being developed.
