For a while now, I've had some problems trying to get an English-lojban dictionary from jbovlaste. Even when I managed to get one, I found searching it to be a pain.

So I downloaded the XML file, and re-formatted it to the format expected by OpenOffice. I then opened the file in OO, and exported it to a PDF. My version has a few advantages over the "official" jbovlaste-exported PDF:

  • It's available online, so it can be just downloaded. It does not need to be "generated"
  • It has both a Lojban to English section, and an English to Lojban section.
  • Easy searching. At the first line of every definition there is a list of the word itself, and each of its rafsi, surrounded by dollar signs. For example, on the first line of xamgu, there's $xamgu$ $xag$ $xau$. But these items are in tiny white letters, so you can't see them. Your PDF reader (tried with Acrobat and Preview) can, so if you see a rafsi in use "ba'u" and want to know what it is, you search for $ba'u$ and learn that it's a rafsi of bacru, and also get the definition of bacru
Please download this from the link below, and let me know if you feel this is useful. If so, I can make a new "edition" every month or every other month.
