      Hiya everybody,
                     As there are questions about dictionaries
floating around I was wondering if anybody could reccomend a good
English->Japanese dictionary that gives the Japanese in KANA as well
as the kanji.  Tried just about every shop in the Tokyo area that I
could think of and couldn't find one so a mail order address would be
helpful.
                                          yours sincerly

  I have no doubt that this is useful for people who are good at
Japanese, but for somebody like me it is all but completely
useless, since I don't have a clue as to which possible translation
of an English word I should use in a given context, if any.

What about a Japanese-English dictionary?  I would think this is
a more useful device, yet I haven't seen any good ones...  Lots
of E-J dictionaries though (which I never use).

I have this notion that a month or two in Japan would be just the thing to help
me rapidly learn Japanese.

I'd appreciate any information on summer intensive language programs in
Japan--preferably at a university, and around Tokyo. I'm also interested in
English-taught business classes, if there are such things.

Right now, I'm still a beginner. But hopefully, I'll be at the intermediate
level (at least grammatically, if not vocabulary-wise), and learn a hundred or
so kanji by spring.

Thanks in advance!

About a week ago I wrote asking for help in reading e-mail notes in MOKE, 
because the JIS characters were not being handled properly.  The problem is 
now solved, and I would like to thank those that helped me, particularly 
George Hawkins.  What happened is the mail handler apparently stripped out 
escape characters, and these needed to be restored.  I got a version of Ken 
Lunde's program REPAIR-JIS for the Mac via FTP, and decoded it using DeHQX, 
then expanded the resulting file using Stuffit.  The resulting program runs 
very nicely on e-mail ascii files.  I have taken several files, including Ken 
Lunde's Japan.inf into MOKE 2.0 after running them through repair-jis and lo 
and behold - the kanji, hiragana and katakana are all present.  It is still a 
rather tortuous process - I have to upload from the Mac to a mainframe, 
transfer the files to VM, download to my PC at home, then run MOKE.  (I know, 
I know, I should get a Mac for home :-)).

Subject: V28 (28,199 entries) of EDICT released.
Organization: Monash University, Melb., Australia.
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1992 02:33:05 GMT


Edict has grown about 1000 lines since the last release, so it is 
time it went out again. V28 has 28,199 lines, and is available
in the usual formats (edict, edict.Z, edict.zoo) on 
monu6.cc.monash.edu.au in the pub/nihongo directory.

edict will also be available  from the US site:

ftp.uwtc.washington.edu

I have just ftped it to the "incoming" directory there. It may take
a while for Jon to move it.

Most of the extra 1000 lines came from a dictionary which fell off
a diskette into my workstation. The source had kanji and english,
but no yomikata, so I have matched the ones for which my wsktok
file had the kana. The english translations may be a bit ropy.

Where I have added a translation from the Canon Wordtank, I have 
appended "(WT)" to show this. I will eventually authenticate these, but
I would be very grateful if someone more fluent in Japanese than me 
(i.e. most of you) could glance at these and pass on any corrections.

The MS-DOS version of the edict file has just cracked the 1Mb mark. It
has certainly grown a bit since I first added a few entries to 
MOKE2.0's 57kb edict two years ago.

Well, remember that it is a product for the Japanese market, and that
being the case, they're not likely to go through the huge hassel of
adding English translations.

I would guess that you'd have your best success in mentioning changes
that at worst would be inmaterial to the Japanese user.

Hi everybody !

Some people were asking for some good English->Japanese dictionaries,
and I have a suggestion:

Kenkyusha's FURIGANA English-Japanese dictionary.
ISBN 4-7674-1172-6, some 1000 pages, entries in English with translations
in Japanese (Kanji) with furigana (small hiragana and katakana over the 
corresponding Kanji). 

It is *very* useful, and only 2000 yens (cover price).

Standard disclaimer: I will not recieve money for doing this.
I hope they will not prosecute me, either. :)

	My personal favorite is Kodansha's Compact Kanji Guide.  It has
	the full Jouyou Kanji set and is very easy to use.  Lookup is
	by:
		1. radical
		2. sound
		3. stroke count.

	There are two radical indices, one on the page margins and another 
	at the back of the book.  The one at the back of the book has both
	the kanji that should be under a given radical and the kanji that might
	be mistakenly grouped under that radical.  This is a big feature for
	us beginners. Another thing I like about the Kodansha dictionary
	is that the pronounciation of each character and all the combinations
	of that character is done in kana instead of romaji.  This helps 
	wean you of the romaji disability ;-). An additional feature for
	learners is that each character entry shows the complete stroke order.

	Of course, if you want a dictionary that goes beyond the Jouyou 
	set and you don't yet have the facility with the language required
	to use a Kan-wa jiten then Nelson is your best bet.  I have both
	Nelson and the Kodansha book.  Occasionally I run onto a kanji that
	is outside the jouyou set or I find a jukugo that is not in the
	Kodansha book.  Nelson almost always has it.
	
	Both dictionaries are widely available in good bookstores everywhere.

There are two pronunciations associated with the letter in question
(looks like:
                   X
                   X
                   X

                   X
                   X
                   X   )

depending on the word.  One is central, one is back; neither is high
like the "oo" sound of "huge," and in particular neither is round.
The closest natural English equivalent is after all the "u" in "sun."

>Come to think of it, I couldn't find any English word with the sound

>Any examples?

No, that's the problem.  NO English words have a "y" sound between a 
consonant and a vowel, unless the vowel has an "oo" sound.  Americans
have little trouble saying "Kyushu" if they hear (not read) it, but they
feel horrible contortions are needed to get the "y" in between the "k" and
"o" of "Kyoto."
    Thus the first syllable of "Hyundai" almost HAS to be "hun."

As to the second syllable, which in Seoul Korean is between the vowel
of English "dead" and English "dad" (especially for those--almost every-
one, I think, who no longer distinguish between

               X                        X
               X                    X   X
            X  X                    X   X
            X  X                    X   X
         XXXX  X  (dEAd)            XXXXX  (dAd) 
            X  X                    X   X
            X  X                    X   X
            X  X                    X   X
               X                        X          )

both of those vowels are always followed by a consonant in the same
syllable in English (possible exception:  "Eh?").
    Thus the second syllable of "Hyundai" pretty much has to be "day."

(I say "hYundeh," but I'm sort of a snob about things like that.  :-) )

I've seen several Suns with X11R5 loaded on top of the OW 3.0

to do.  Once the R5 libraries are available, everything builds and runs
fine.

/pub/Japanese/Unix and /incoming (unsorted entries).

Be aware that Sun does have a Japanese localization of the OS and
OpenWindows.  I am currently using SunOS4.1.1RevB-J/OpenWindows 2.0-J and
am not very happy with it.  It is not stable and the text processor is
useless, although the FEP is very good.  Solaris 2.0 will have an Asian
localization (Japanese/Korean/Chinese/Taiwanese) that should be quite a
bit better.  Unfortunately, you will probably still want to add the X11R5
libraries and have Wnn and others available because many applications
(like FrameMaker) use these instead of the OpenWindows stuff.

Regarding the request for information on automated translation
(traduction automatique), I would suggest that interested people
contact probably the leading industry "guru" on this technology,
Miguel Brazao.  A former Wang Laboratories director of international
products, he has also been associated with Bull translation
strategy.  He has developed some exciting new concepts, especially
regarding the use of artificial intelligence and natural language
normalization, making substantial improvements in the efficiency and
effective language translation work.  He can be contacted at the
Burlington, Mass. (US) firm Peritus.  It is best to send him a FAX
since he is normally out at customer sites.  His FAX there at
Peritus is (617) 221-7122.  Since he is perfectly fluent in French,
Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian, you can send him a FAX in any of
these languages.

	I finally got my Word Tank 8500, and of course am very pleased. The
latch seems a little weak, popping open occasionally. I pray it doesn't
break. I did notice a couple strange entries:

	"katsuogi" has no English definition ... some kind of tree?

	I couldn't find "kinoko -- mushroom" in Kanji & Kana. Is it not a
Jouyou kanji?

	The "ai" of "aite" ("partner") is under the "me" ("eye") radical on
the Word Tank, but under the "ki" ("tree") radical in Kanji & Kana. My vote
is with Kanji & Kana, since ki is on the left.

	I've been trying to look up the various buttons in the kanji
dictionary. I can't find the kanji compound on the return key ("kigyou"?),
and I haven't yet found a use for the gray button marked "kinou."

	All in all, though, I think it almost replaces a few cumbersome
books. And it makes a great conversation piece.

Hi.

I am looking for any programs that can help me learn the Hiragana and
Katakana alphabets. I'm imagining something like automated flashcards, but
anything that helps is interesting.

I have access to Macs with KanjiTalk or Suns with X Windows.

Sorry if this is a FAQ. Please e-mail me and I'll summarize to the
network if there is sufficient interest.

Thanks in advance,
