Edict2 in plain HTML (no scripts, frames etc)

http://kanji.aule-browser.com/edict2-kanji-sliced-1-9.html

Edict2 rendered as 9 kanji pages and 3 katakana pages in plain HTML-only. These pages offer the ability to browse this extensive Japanese-English dictionary on-line.





Below is an example page:
That page is using the free HanMinA font which adds a few seconds to the initial download.


Look-up widgets to follow for HTML+JavaScript and HTML+Curl pages.


岸 河原


From one kanji  to a compound 河原 via a known kanji  and I finally "grok" them both !

see also:
遠島
火山列島
 
at edict2 in utf-8 PLAIN HTML (page may take 30 seconds to load - no scripts)

Be sure your browser view has character encoding set to utf-8 if you have an issue.

Split HTML pages (6 ? 7 ?) in lovely free HanaMinA font later today.

compound kanji definitions

A dictionary popup is now part of my Curl® Japanese haiku pages: ( link)


Single kanji definitions are drawn from kanjidic2 and compound kanji from a set of 9 Curl binary selections from edict2.  At the moment only compounds at the beginning of an entry are found (those forming the initial characters of an expression.)  For our purposes, the full set of 162,000+ entries has been resuced to roughly 122,000.

Dictionaries are not loaded unless needed and that need is determined by membership of kanji in Char Set's ( in Curl, a CharClass) which, incidentally, has a {fold } expression available.
