Ideally someone will create a Firefox extension for a right-click menu item on highlighted Lojban text to get word lookup, or even jbofi'e. Even better would be right-click menu item on highlighted English text to see a set of suggestions of Lojban words that might-- just might-- apply or contribute to translating English words, with the user urged to use his or her judgement. My super-convenient tool of choice, although not as shiny as what you described, is a drop-down menu of bookmarks in Firefox. Your mileage may vary. Apologies to those who have seen me post this here before. Go to the Bookmarks menu and select "Manage Bookmarks". Create a folder called Lojban and drag it into the Bookmarks Toolbar Folder. Bookmark the following sites in that folder: http://www.lojban.org/jboski/ http://www.hypermetrics.com/pikmin.html http://jbovlaste.lojban.org/ http://www.lojban.org/publications/wordlists/gismu.txt http://www.lojban.org/publications/wordlists/cmavo.txt http://www.lojban.org/publications/wordlists/cmavo_selmaho_order.txt http://www.lojban.org/publications/wordlists/rafsi.txt http://www.lojban.org/publications/wordlists/oblique_keywords.txt http://teddyb.org/~rlpowell/hobbies/lojban/flashcards/big_list http://www.lojban.org/publications/draft-dictionary/NORALUJV.txt http://www.lojban.org/irc/ http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-download_wiki_attachment.php?attId=198 http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=Home+Page&bl http://www.nemorathwald.com/jbocradi/jbocradi.html http://teddyb.org/cgi-bin/moo_ssh.html http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=014107847567658722055%3A3enx_7t3upo -Eppcott On 4/2/07, Rob Speer <rspeer@mit.edu> wrote:
After a long absence from the Lojban community (I blame the stress of MIT), I'm back. I've gotten rustier with my Lojban since I last actively used it, of course. Also, I used to check my Lojban and look up words I didn't know with a bunch of Perl, Python, and shell scripts built around jbofihe and the wordlists; I've changed my computer environment enough since then that conglomeration of hacks doesn't work anymore. So now I feel like I'm flying blind when I try to write in Lojban. So my question to the community is: how do you check your Lojban and look up words now? Is jbofihe still the command line tool of choice? Is there a shiny Web interface to all of this? -- Rob To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
