Hi,

I noticed that one of the entries in DictionaryForMIDs.jar/char_lists/romaji_hiragana_UTF8.txt is incorrect:

sho=しょ
ja=じゃ
ju=ふ
jo=じょ
cha=ちゃ

The highlighted entry should read:
ju=じゅ

I've confirmed that this prevents a user from searching any word that contains the syllable "ju" when doing a romaji-based Japanese > English lookup. For example, searching for the romaji string "juku" yields results that match "ふく" (fuku).

Also, I noticed that this file only addresses the Hepburn standard for Japanese romanization. I would recommend this file be extended to support the Nihon-shiki and Kunrei-shiki romanization standards, which are used widely in Japan. Here is a reference on these standards: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Japanese

Cheers,
