Oridict - 0.9.7

There are also a few provenance issues here. The author provides an internet option to submit "corrections" to the Japanese, Chinese and Korean dictionaries included. These, however, are copyrighted works by Jim Breen at Monash University in Australia -- so the "corrections" process needs to be explained a bit. Who receives a "correction"? Who decides the "correction" is correct? Who adds it to EDICT, vets its meaning and significance, etc. etc.? Perhaps there's a mechanism, and this is a front end to it -- shouldn't that be explained? Anyone can concoct a kludge to make using EDICT easier -- I've done it myself, and Sergei Kerkin (www.jedict.com) has done it brilliantly for Macintosh OS X users. OriDict falls down a bit, irrespective of scholarly credentialing, on its technical merits. Yes, you can look up words. Gasp, you can also download most of the significant intellectual efforts of Jim Breen and many others in this distribution -- how convenient. Groan, the actual word lookup process is slower than molasses -- SIGNIFICANTLY slower than opening EDIT in TextEdit and setting Osaka font. Maybe a good beginning, but needs a letter of introduction about the author(s) and his, her or their arrangement(s) with the official EDIT web site at http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/edict.html
