A modern re-writting of Gjiten, a japanese dictionary
The goal of this rewrite of Gjiten is to have a Gjiten with new features and a new interface, while keeping the original overall design.
To use the worddic (word dictionary) you will need an EDICT dictionary file. Get one from https://www.edrdg.org/wiki/index.php/JMdict-EDICT_Dictionary_Project
Dictionary files can be downloaded directly from Gjitenkai in the ''preference/Download'' menu
Then set the worrdic file in Edit/preferences/ Worddic - Dictionary - New - Browse ...
You also need Japanese font and a Japanse input system. See your OS documentation for more details.
