Anyone know where I can get some foreign word lists?

At the moment I'm working on a word game project for class, and due to the way my architecture is structured it is actually possible for me to make the game multilingual - which is a really cool element I would love to implement. Right now the program is reading the dictionary from a .txt file which has a list of English scrabble words, and all I really need to do to change it to another language is to point it to a different dictionary .txt.

Problem is, I can't find any other dictionaries. Not free ones, anyway. Pretty much every non-English one I find either requires a license fee to use or demands that I make my game's code open source, which is impossible for me because I'm using the school's game engine. So... anyone know where I could get one of these? It would have to be a language that doesn't require any extra characters(so French and Spanish are okay since I can ignore the diacritical marks, but German is out since I don't have any ßs).

Does anyone know where I can get one of these? The format of the word list is simple, and the English one just reads like this:

aah
aahed
aahing
aahs
aal
aalii
aaliis
aals
aardvark
...

Hm you could potentially write a script to use google translate to translate all the words in your list of English words to another language, one by one.

Google translate would probably end up blocking you if they see so many requests... but I'm not sure. You could try using another translation service too.

After that it'd be a matter of removing duplicates. Could take a while to run though..

As I understand it -- and I'm not expert on this, so someone is free to correct me -- if you don't distribute the program to the public then you can use as much open source code as you want without having to release the source code for it. So you should be perfectly fine using the word list if it's just for an internal school project that won't be released to the public.

Would spanishdict.com work?
