It means that to use jbovlaste you must be connected to the Internet, and it is much slower than my dictionary (because your browser must exchange with jbovlaste server overseas, a problem not so noticeable to merxa'u). Besides, saxaras has been made *extremely* comfortable and user-friendly, and takes full advantage of being an offline app.

Both the Russian and what I assume to be Chinese failed to come through in my email.  The Russian is no problem:  I copy it to Word, where I have a macro to transliterate it.
How can I 'transliterate' the Chinese, though?  Is there any way to get the character code from the symbols above?  And are they Unicode or something else?  Unicode I can do in Word, too.
