Sure, you can find it here. I would recommend that you take the newest one (dicthtml-ja.zip), and the other two later, if you feel you really need it. The two older dictionaries have the advantage, that you can edit the search string. |
Finally had a chance to intall your dictionaries.
They work quite well, but I have a couple of questions.
1) I'm curious why there needs to be two separate dictionaries japdic01.zip and japdic02.zip....you mention that more difficult initial kanji are in the 2nd file. Is it because of the lookup time increasing too much if the file is too big? For me, having to reselect the same passage if it's not found in the first file is more time consuming.
Anyway just curious if there is a reason I'm not seeing to have them separate.
2) How difficult is it to merge two dictionaries? I would like to keep the original Japn-Japn dictionary as well as your new Japn-English as occasionally the Japn-Japn is useful to me. Maybe you can PM me about this (as you mentioned copyright issues)?
Btw, if you aren't on 2.5.2, then I thought I'd give you a head's up that when you install the japdic01.zip and japdic02.zip in other languages, the Japanese becomes very small...not surprising since the other languages aren't meant to display Japanese...and not that annoying since you can see it using normal sized font either in epub or in the edit search string part.
