Jeffrey
Friedl (jfriedl@omron.co.jp) announces the new version of
his Japanese/English
English/Japanese dictionary at the Carnegie Mellon University School of
Computer Science. It works without the need for Japanese fonts
(although they're supported if you have them), and features a
particularly nifty interface which allows advanced user customization
across all pages, with text pages being tailored to each user on the
fly. It can only be described as subarashii
<-- (try it! it's a direct link to a dictionary query with
an unusually large font that you're supposed to be impressed with :-)
The Chinese-Language-Related Information Page is a new WWW site for
users of WWW browsers such as Mosaic, Lynx, and Cello. It points
to resources all over the world, with the following categories
and more to come in the future:
* Links to Chinese-language related FTP sites
* Sources of Chinese text files
* Chinese educational software
* Chinese language study course offerings
* Chinese-language access to the WWW
* Information about programming Chinese-language software
Even though the Page is still under construction, it already
contains many useful links to relevant information. In the future
it will be continually improved to make it a comprehensive
navigational tool pointing you to Chinese-language-related
resources. The intended audience is anyone who has an interest in
Chinese, including speakers and students of Chinese languages,
China scholars, Chinese teachers, translators, linguists, and East
Asiatic librarians.

If you maintain or know of a site that has related information,
please let me know so I can add a pointer to it.
