Shoebox is a program (developed by the SIL) that allows you to build lexical databases and interlinearize texts:
``Shoebox is a computer program that helps field linguists and anthropologists integrate various kinds of text data: lexical, cultural, grammatical, etc. It has flexible options for sorting, selecting, and displaying data. It is especially useful for helping researchers build a dictionary as they use it to analyze and interlinearize text. The name Shoebox recalls the use of shoe boxes to hold note cards on which definitions of words were written in the days before researchers could use computers in the field.''
Toolbox is a freeware version of Shoebox that also provides some additional functionality.
