Dict Database for Dhivehi Radheef Update

I'm releasing a minor update to the previously released database.

by minor I mean a complete overhaul - I had to rewrite the entire conversion script because of the recent "hard drive crash". I've managed to fix the "number reversal" problem, and also changed the formatting a little. Also included in the dictionary now are additional information about the words like "kan ithuru","nan ithuru" and so on....

Otherwise everything is pretty much the same. Installation instructions can be found on the previous post HERE

updated files are here:
RAW zip: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5385653/radheef/dict-radheef.zip

DICT database for Dhivehi Radheef

An year ago I asked myself "wouldn't it be cool if you could lookup words from the Radheef right from gnome-dictionary?"

and so dict-radheef was born.... (bear with me)

a screenshot should give you an idea of what I'm talking about.


now isn't that just dandy?

Anyway I've put it all together in a neat little deb file for you kids to install. It should tell you all the dependencies and stuff. Grab it..install it..voila.

Setup

at this time, you'll need to setup a DICT server on your local machine (or intranet..however you wanna roll) if you're installing from the deb, it should grab all the necessities for you, and all you have to do is point gnome-dictionary to the local DICT server.

do do this, go to edit->preferences and click "add". Enter whatever in the fields except hostname. HOSTNAME: 127.0.0.1 and that's it.

for you hardcore types.
