Kamus Indonesia (KBBI) Offline apk Description
The dictionary was first published in 1988, and launched at the Congress on the Indonesian Language. The first edition contained 62,000 entries, the second in 1991 had 72,000, and the third in 2000 had 78,000. The current, fourth edition was released in 2008 and contains 90,000 entries. The language contained within is formal, rather than the informal language used in common conversation, and it omits words that are considered slang or foreign. The authors note:
"the compilation of a dictionary constitutes an effort of language codification which becomes part of standardization of a language."
The dictionary has been criticised for being too selective, and excluding words that are in common use. Continual work is done towards future versions, to ensure the dictionary remains relevant to changes in the Indonesian language, and the authors are open to criticism and advice on how the work might accurately reflect Indonesian. Writing in the Jakarta Post, Setiono Sugiharto states that "KBBI should be appreciated as a byproduct of work by Indonesian scholars who persistently show their commitment to the development of the Indonesian lexicon"
