The Israeli digital dictionary, translation software and currency and conversion tool seller Babylon is said to be looking to a micro-IPO that would raise $20M, although it is not expected to get underway before the end of 2006.

The company sells its dictionary/translation download starting at $50 a pop. We have to say it's a great product for those trying to understand foreign languages.

Babylon has estimated annual revenue of $10M, and has raised $16M. Its principal shareholders are Reed Elsevier Ventures, Formula Vision Technologies (TASE: FVT); The Monitin Group and company founder Amnon Ovadia.
