Tibetan Translation Tool v1.2

Tibetan Translation Tool v1.2 is a Java™ application by Michael Kim that facilitates the preparation of translations from Tibetan to English. The current version is designed to support the Rangjung Yeshe Tibetan-English Dictionary, available on CD-ROM.

The Tibetan Translation Tool is the ultimate Tibetan-English dictionary search tool. Since the written Tibetan does not indicate the definite boundaries of words, all the possible entries must be considered before determining which word or words a syllable belongs to. Manually checking all the possible entries like this is time-consuming even with a dictionary search tool. However, the Tibetan Translation Tool reports in seconds all matching entries in a comprehensible sequence and format.

The latest version (v1.2) allows filters to be applied when opening dictionaries, to support the new Rangjung Yeshe Dictionary 3.0 format. It also shows words modified by particles, includes an enhanced dictionary search engine with support for multiple search terms, the ability to export translation reports to HTML, and numerous interface enhancements, bringing to life a new level interaction between Tibetan texts and the Rangjung Yeshe Dictionary.
