JGloss is an application for adding reading and translation
|
|
annotations to words in a Japanese text document. This can be done
|
|
automatically and manually. When a text document is first opened,
|
|
words will be looked up in dictionary files and the first reading
|
|
and translation (if any) is used to annotate the word. The user
|
|
can then edit the annotations: choose among the readings and
|
|
translations found in the dictionaries, enter own readings and
|
|
translations, remove annotations and add new annotations. The
|
|
document can be exported as plain text with annotations, HTML (with
|
|
support for the Ruby Annotation XHTML specification) or LaTeX.
|
|
|
|
The application is designed as a translation aid for people learning
|
|
Japanese. With some new document, you can first skim the text and
|
|
change the annotations to match the likeliest meaning of the word.
|
|
Then you can print/export the text with annotations and start
|
|
working on the details of understanding the text without having to
|
|
resort to a paper dictionary all the time.
|
|
|
|
JGloss is written in Java and should work on any computer with
|
|
support for the Java 2 Version 1.3/1.4 platform. It is distributed
