Multiple Language Pali Dictionary

Filed under: Uncategorized — yuttadhammo @ 1:26 pm

Dear Friends, the latest 4.24 edition of the DPR has the ability to add in extra language dictionaries, which will allow one to translate from Pali into one’s own language. I created four dictionaries myself, using google translate, and have uploaded them to sourceforge here:

Pali-French Dictionary
Pali-German Dictionary
Pali-Spanish Dictionary
Pali-Thai Dictionary

Each archive contains a single javascript file that should be added to the /DPR/DPR/js folder. This will activate the dropdown menu at the bottom right, and clicking on a word in the main window will give a definition in the corresponding language. Note that these dictionaries were created through automation, and are most likely far from perfect.

Digital Pali Reader 4.23

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: — yuttadhammo @ 1:47 pm

Dear friends, I think the latest version of the DPR is our most excellent offering yet. Some of the new features since the last blog post include:

* Better search function, including lists of words including search terms, and the ability to show only certain instances

* Better dictionary search, and ability to look up Pali translations of English words via the EPD.

* A Quote of the Day and a Pali Quiz function

* Lots more that I can’t remember, including many bug fixes… just check it out, and as always, let me know if you spot any new bugs.

As always, download from sourceforge:
