Hi,
When I enter "ÙØØ" into Qamoose at http://qamoose.arabeyes.org/dict_main.cgi,
I get :
"Sorry, the term you're seeking was NOT found"
It does not matter whether I choose "exact" or "any match".
But, when I enter "Egypt", I get the answer --
English : Egypt
Arabic : ÙØØ
Please make it clear if the text box only accepts English.
But, if it accepts only English, then why the Javascript
virtual keyboard for Arabic?
I am sure you can make the dictionary lookup both ways,
i.e., English->Arabic and also Arabic->English. You can use
either one text box or two. If you have just one text box,
you could have the server detect whether the entered text was
in UTF-8 or just the ASCII subset. If ASCII, then do English
lookup. If UTF-8, then do Arabic lookup. This would be very
nice.
Also, it would be very nice if the dictionary provided the
fully vocalized entry. I know this is more work, but it would
be very nice for people like me: I am just beginning to learn
Arabic.
Thank you!
