Script to create bilingual tab delimited terminology files from multilingual table

So I have a table with entries for 20 languages approx. and another one with many more languages. I suppose the script already exixts.

What is needed is say:

read in column A and column B in file <something.csv>

add to file <something.txt>

skip if field A or B in line are empty and go ahead with next line

stop at eof <something.csv>

Data for Parley and Similar Applications

We, that is Vox Humanitatis, are at a stage that we have access to more and more data and it would be a shame if we did not give it out in a format people can simply use. Nevertheless there are some issues to it:

Contents for KHangMan

Now she told me: take the story and give it to children that don't have books, so that they can read it.
