Lojban In General

.ui coi rodo
mi'e dan.

I should probably introduce myself properly at some point, but quick
version: I've been learning Lojban for the past few months, lurking on
the lists and such. I don't know how many of you have a Mac, or indeed
Leopard, but there's a dictionary application which provides system-
wide dictionary services (you can hover over a word, press a key combo
and get a pop-up definition pretty cool). I thought it would be mega-
handy if I had a Lojban dictionary for this service so I made one
It's generated from the English jbovlaste XML export (though I'm sure
I could run to other languages if needed) so any issues about content
should be directed there.

If you have a Mac and Leopard, give it a go and let me know what you
think. I've put it up on my very bare-bones website here: http://stuff.burntout.net/lojbanosxdictionary/
I haven't tested it on 10.4 as I don't have a 10.4 installation
lying around but if you do give it a go and report back! 10.4 had the
dictionary thing too but I don't know if they changed the format or
not with 10.5. Apple certainly only just provided the tool to build
dictionaries with 10.5.

The generator is included, with a Readme, but feel free to contact me
either directly or through this thread about that too. It's all
automated apart from one dependency. Patches are welcome

Also, Powers That Be, feel free to link/rehost/whatever it on wherever
(it may help with the recently-discussed LRWTF as it's a pretty
friendly gateway to Lojban words well, for Mac users anyway ;) ),
just please credit me and add your name to the Readme if you change
the distribution.

Hope this is of use to someone else too...

Tested it on 10.4, it doesn't work. It doesn't break anything, but
Dictionary.app doesn't see it.

Have you checked in its preferences? You may have to tick a box to
enable it. I forgot to say that I should probably put that in the
Readme...
