Package: edict Version: 2009.03.03-1 Severity: wishlist
It would be nice if edict were available in a utf-8 encoded version, since utf-8 is such a common default encoding these days. It would make it more convenient to use edict with other standard tools. For instance, in a gnome terminal: $ grep 懐かしい /usr/share/edict/edict $ iconv -feuc-jp -tutf-8 < /usr/share/edict/edict > /tmp/e $ grep 懐かしい /tmp/e 懐かしい [なつかしい] /(adj-i) dear/desired/missed/(P)/ 人懐かしい [ひとなつかしい] /(adj-i) lonesome for/ Obviously one can make one's own version, but it would be nice to have a pre-packaged version. [Whether this should be a replacement, an alternative package, or an alternative file in the same package, I dunno...] -Miles -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.33-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash edict depends on no packages. edict recommends no packages.
