This paper presents an editor for compiling a multilingual machine readable lexicon, like the Simple-lexicon. This editor has proven to be a useful tool in linking several languages in one lexical database, and to edit the entries in a consistent and convenient way. The editor has been designed for linking Danish, Swedish and Norwegian in the Simple Scan-project, but might easily be extended to include all the languages in the Simple project. The editor may also be modified for similar machine readable lexical projects. 1.
