+# Purpose of the GWT lexicon
+This lexicon is intended to serve the needs of Mother-tongue translators and translation checkers/reviewers. It does this by providing them with access to information that can only be found by accessing lexical meaning in the biblical languages. 
+
+This lexicon is written in WIT (Writing for International Translators) style so that it can more easily be translated into any of the world's langauges by non-professional translators.
