The constraint-based approach has been proven useful for inducing bilingual dictionary for closely-related low-resource languages.
When we want to create multiple bilingual dictionaries linking several languages, we need to consider manual creation by a native
speaker if there are no available machine-readable dictionaries are available as input. To overcome the difficulty in planning the creation
of bilingual dictionaries, the consideration of various methods and costs, plan optimization is essential. Utilizing both constraint-based
approach and plan optimizer, we design a collaborative process for creating 10 bilingual dictionaries from every combination of 5
languages, i.e., Indonesian, Malay, Minangkabau, Javanese, and Sundanese. We further design an online collaborative dictionary
generation to bridge spatial gap between native speakers. We define a heuristic plan that only utilizes manual investment by the native
speaker to evaluate our optimal plan with total cost as an evaluation metric. The optimal plan outperformed the heuristic plan with a
63.3% cost reduction
