I do have web hosting done by my excellent ISP. The reason Babelcarp doesn't fling a single web page at the user is that its database has more than 1200 entries; the bandwidth could get expensive. > [...] > > PS: You now have the information available to process CJ language sets > in addition to Unicode.

Thanks for this. Babelcarp only had the traditional character for Zhong; now it has the simplified one too. > I'd suggest also returning the Unihan or Zhongwen link for each > Unicode. Why? It would just be a small amount of programming to add a Unihan link, but I'm having trouble understanding why a user would want that. Zhongwen doesn't seem to have as much coverage as Unihan, don't you agree? /Lew --- Lew Perin / http://www.panix.com/~perin/babelcarp.html |

NeoCathay used both. You'll see the term Souchong used more than
Xiaozhong even though the characters are the same. I noticed my characters for LS agreed with her characters for ZS since her references didn't mention LS. I gave your new Unicode inquiry a whirl too double check and that is the only reason I noted the difference so maybe a programming clitch or as you found out Traditional versus Simplified. The reason I'm fussing with the native language sets and Unicode is because I don't have ANY fontsets loaded on this computer which will be the case with most Westerners. In my case I don't want to load massive CJ font sets just to see the glyphs for a few characters about tea when I can backdoor to Unihan. I think it would be a great addition if someone looks up the English word for tea and you link them to Unihan or Zhongwen where they can see the glyph. I like Zhongwen because I can plow down just too the graphic character representation without the gooblegook of extraneous Unihan information.
