So now there is the 'first usable version' of the DictionaryForMIDs web app. This version is 'functionality complete' concerning the translation features.

However the user interface completely lacks any convenience and even it lacks any nice looking elements: it is crude and looks rather ugly. The current user interface more serves as a demonstration for developers on how to build a user interface based on the translation layer.

I still hope that we will find somebody who can take care for the development of a nice looking user interface. See http://dictionarymid.sourceforge.net/htmlAppDevelopment.html for more information.

Anyway, even with the crude user interface the web app is ready to use. I attached two screenshots for CEDICT.

Two dictionaries are availble to the web app right now:

IDP EngLat: http://dictionarymid.sourceforge.net/htmlApp/EngLat_IDP/
A small dictionary for English <-> Latin

CEDICT: http://dictionarymid.sourceforge.net/htmlApp/ChiEng_CEDICT/
The famous huge CEDICT; Chinese <-> English

Please only run the web app if you have an internet 'flatrate' (i.e. you do not pay for downloading files) !


Hope that someone can help me to make the other dictionaries availble for the web app, too. I will post an extra message on this in the forum during the next days. Who volunteers to support ?

Note that the DictionaryForMIDs web app makes heavily use of HTML5 features and pushes the browsers to their limit. Restrictions/problems exist for most browsers. Also here I will post an extra message in this forum.

Ok, hope the news about the DictionaryForMIDs web app will quickly spread worldwide and attract a lot of people who like to support the DictionaryForMIDs project  :)
