Just to report and record some changes in KANJIDIC. I spent part of yesterday doing a long overdue upgrade of the JIS X 0213-related part of the kanjidic data...
Here is a list of things I found when parsing the 2008-04-07 jmdict: <!ENTITY rkb "Ryukyu-ben"> Should this be "Ryuukyuu-ben" for consistency with the other...
When I updated the $B?ML>MQ4A;z(B info in kanjidic, I forgot that I used the Gn codes in WWWJDIC to trigger a links to the SOD animations. I modified it,...
Some of you may have noticed references to GAIDIC in the WWWJDIC docs, and the odd gairaigo appearing with a "GA" source tag. GAIDIC is a collection of...
I've noticed this from a few days ago, and thought it's worth a mention for those using Google to check for word frequency and such. If you search for a...
As many of you will know, there was a flurry of activity in 2004 which led to the $B?ML>MM4A;z(B being increased from 286 to 983. I have just got around to...
Yet another quick question about search results. When one does a search for $B;R(B, why is it that $B$3(B, which is the first result in $B8^==2;=g(B (the...
A question about the "Select different dictionary file" options. In what order are these displayed? They seem almost completely random. <OPTION SELECTED...
What is a (v5z) verb (described in the list on the submissions page as "godan verb with 'zu' ending")? Is it supposed to be for things like $B8@$o$:(B? And...
Greetings. After a long wait, I have finally been able to include the 20,000-entry "RUI" Japanese-Spanish file in WWWJDIC. I had agreement nearly 4 years ago...
I think there should be a slight tweak made to the Sanseido search option, similar to the one for Google search/Google image. At present, it's using the...
Greetings, The Monash server running WWWJDIC seems to have survived the move yesterday, however for some reason it is not sending on emails, and I use emails...
Greetings, Some of you have noticed the message: "This server will be down from 9:30am to 6pm (Eastern Australian Summer time) on 20 March 2008" on the...
Two quick remarks about the links used to search the web for WWWJDIC entries. First, I see that the [G] entry is now using quotation marks to search Google....
I've just noticed a new Google feature. If you search on 'fanfiction' you get the following. FanFiction.Net - Unleash Your Imagination World's largest...
It just occurred to me that there's [V] links for verbs, but no [A](?) links for adjectives in WWWJDIC. Admittedly they're somewhat more straightforward than...
Now I know that if the kanji headword has a tag on it (ie $B0z$/(B(P)) then it doesn't register as an 'exact match' so it isn't the first on the search...
This is just a tidying up of a loose end, but I have changed the way WWWJDIC display cross-references, such as "(See $B5o$k!&$$$k(B, $B@.$k(B)". Now only...
Not directly related to jmdict, but does anyone know of any tools (*) to dump all the data from an epwing dictionary into some kind of text format (e.g. csv,...
Ever noticed the mirror at: http://www.oh-philippines.com/wwwdic/wwwjdic.html You probably didn't - it was never advertised. A couple of years ago I was...
Greeting. At the suggestion of a correspondent I have been experimenting with creating an OpenSearch plugin for Firefox. I had tried an FF plugin before at...
I've mentioned this before but yahoo.co.jp appears to be (generally) more consistent than Google - although it consistently returns higher numbers than Google....
