As mentioned, apart from a two-volume multilingual dictionary, a set of bilingual ones is intended to be published in the following language compositions, containing varied combinations of the above stated discipline listings, according to Greek scientists' needs.

English- Greek & Greek -English dictionaries

French - Greek & Greek - French dictionaries

German - Greek & Greek - German dictionaries

LexiGraf can produce any bilingual dictionary which results by enumerating the combinations of the available languages by two. The multilingual dictionary under development is mainly a reference tool for library use, and use by professional translators. Afterall, it is the outcome of an academic project. Bilingual dictionaries are the ones that would probably bear a market potential, since they will be far cheaper and will respond to the needs of a much wider group of scientists. A number of European firms have already expressed their interest in extending the language base. Evaluations of possible multimedia applications are also being made. The first commercial results on LexiGraf produced dictionaries are expected to reach the Greek market within 1998.
