Mobile Improvements for Online Dictionaries

We've upgraded several more of our 'TLex Online'-based online dictionaries with improvements that make them easier to use on mobile devices. The improved dictionaries include Chinese, Esperanto, Jarai, Northern Sotho (in addition to Swahili, previously done), Kalenjin and more. There are also some new functionality improvements,  e.g. an option that allows dictionary end-users to search for words that appear within results by clicking on them, making it easy for the user to explore related words/entries.

The mobile-friendliness improvements are also being implemented in other TLex-based dictionary websites, such as the Longman-HAT language portal (along with many other improvements and additions to the TLex Online 'platform').

Showcase: Longman HAT English - Afrikaans / Afrikaans - Engels

Two brand new 'Made with TLex' dictionaries: The Longman HAT English - Afrikaans / Afrikaans - Engels School Dictionary (Skoolwoordeboek) and Pocket Dictionary from Pearson Education.

Several advanced features of TLex were used extensively to streamline the production of these dictionaries, including, amongst others, the 'multiple dictionaries from one database' functionality as well as an advanced custom Lua-script-based partial-automated-reversal tailored for this dictionary.

Note we've been quiet on the blog lately because we've been busy - we have many other interesting new things we'll be showcasing here soon!
