Abstract
The Fran: Dictionaries of the Fran Ramovš Institute of the Slovenian Language ZRC SAZU web portal was launched in october 2014. The content of the portal describes the Slovenian language in its contemporary literary, dialectal, and historical forms. At the time of publication, it consisted of 21 dictionaries and linguistic atlases, two language counseling services, and hyperlinks to corpora and other language resources.
The article focuses on the later development of the portal, wherein the main goals were the inclusion of new content and improvements to its functionality, visualization, user experience, and development of applications for Android and ioS operating systems. From 2015 to September 2019, the number of dictionaries published on the portal rose to 36. Several previously unpublished dictionaries, other language resources, and software have been added, including the ZRCola special characters input system, and the Slovenian grammars and orthographic dictionaries sub-portal consisting of publications from 1584 until the present day. Continued development of the portal has brought various innovative solutions for the presentation of dictionaries in the digital form, e.g. graphic representation of interlexemic relations, image and sound material, and the use of maps for easier geographical presentation of the areas dialectal dictionaries cover. The article also presents approaches to the integration of additional content that extends the role of the portal to the central web portal on the Slovenian language.
