Re: Digital Pali-German Dictionary

Dear Jim,

Thanks; Thitadhammo says he's looked already and found none.  He says
there is a hardcopy, but no electronic version.  The idea for him is to
create a German version of the Digital Pali Reader I maintain.  In a fit
of curiosity, I tried putting the CPED through Google Translate, and
found that I was able, with a little difficulty, to get it to translate
the CPED into German, Spanish, French, and Thai.  I added the language
files to my sourceforge page, and they are available as plugins for the
DPR.  If anyone is interested, here's the weblog post about the topic:

or contact me for more information.
