Hi there,
I've been compiling a Chinese Grammar DB little by little on my Palm and I would like to see about integrating it into PlecoDict or the current version of your software. I don't have a laptop here in China, so I want to ask a few theoretical qustions.
What would happen if I added dictionary entries that started with three periods, then a character, then three periods and the rest of the pattern?
Is the dictionary doing straight string matching? Since Chinese characters are 2 bytes, what happens to a period? Is it a single byte? Does it matter?
I really think that this is possible and would like to release a free (opensource) dictionary and make sure that one format is compatible with PlecoDict.
Best Regards,
Brandon
