William Whitaker's Words Download Mac UPDATED Free

#one  Hal_9k 02-08-2011, 06:xix PM

Update: (21/4/2013).

This project is quite old, but still useful.

You want Whitaker's Words on your Kindle? You take two choices:

1. Download 'Whitaker.mainland china' which was made past Doitsu.
2. Download 'Whitaker's Latin English Dictionary - William Whitaker.mobi' which was made past Popular.

Doistu's looks to be the most complete. PoP's has 'popup searches'.

Attached is a Cipher file containing the following from the original python project.

• A MOBI Latin to English language lexicon based on William Whitaker's 'Words'.
• The source files used to create the lexicon with a README
• The rough python script used to generate the HTML from the Words raw file.

Update (22/5/2011): Doitsu has uploaded a reformatted version with some inflections; run across mail service #7.

Update (27/two/2011): you may also be interested in an early release of my Lewis and Short Latin dictionary.

Update (26/2/2011): the development files are as before, simply have compiled dictionary without pinch (see post #5 beneath). You can either download the standalone lexicon beneath, or everything below.

Update (21/4/2013): Pop has recompiled the dictionary with new features; see post #10.

Thank you. Glad to see that Latin isn't a dead linguistic communication...

I agree, to suggest (suggerere) that Latin is dead is ridiculous, (ridiculus) it is fortunate (fortunate) that Latin has transcended (transcendere) fate (fatum) and remains (remanere) applicable (applicare) to even our society (societas).

I have removed the compression on the above generated .mobi file equally I think it acquired errors searching for sure words around the 'm' area. An updated version of the lexicon is attached.

edit: zipper removed

Plus there is the fact that not only is Latin used in many fields such as Medicine for example but information technology is the basis of French, Castilian and Italian as well. Which is why words in all three can sometimes seem to be just variations on spelling and pronounciation. The words have a common root.

I reformatted the dictionary and added the most common inflections.

Hey, that'southward great Doitsu. Possibly you'd also upload the script y'all used for the conversion process.

Hey, that's dandy Doitsu. Perhaps y'all'd likewise upload the script y'all used for the conversion process.

Since I'm non familiar with XSL, I simply converted the original Whitaker file to a tab delimited file and then used a very simple Visual Bones script to write the .html source file. I didn't post it, because it isn't cross platform and I didn't think everyone would find it useful. If y'all nevertheless desire to have it, I can of form post it and the other source files, also.

Quote Doitsu

I reformatted the dictionary and added the well-nigh common inflections.

But came across this old mail service. I added statements in the opf show zipper » to enable pop up searches and recompiled it: evidence attachment » . Also, here is a mobi with sources evidence zipper » to examination it.

(pretty sure the copyright of my cover has expired)

Interestingly, when I set the language of the volume and the input language of the dictionary to latin la(1142) using Java Mobi Metadata editor the pop up doesn't work. Information technology works fine with the (current, but incorrect) hebrew he(13). Wonder why?
