Title: Chinese - English Resources
Post by: OttoAcuna on November 06, 2005, 12:27:51 pm
Hi,

I was just wondering. I've seen a lot on Kanji. But, do you know of good Mandarin Chinese learning resources for the zaurus? I am looking for dictionaries, flashcards, maybe a translator, hopefully that comes also with Pinyin, the romanization of the sounds in chinese, which is the way many teach today.

Hope I get some help here, sometimes the bag of chinese printed resources gets heavy...

Regards,

I'm using murphytalk pinyin input method and qpzidian a CEDICT based chinese dictionary.  There are lots of html revision/tutorial pages which can be saved localy if you dont want to be online.  If you'r going to go for a C series then id recomend you use a larger efont (chinese font) than the 16pt that comes with murphytalk.

These should work on both the 5500 tkc v1 and im currently on cacko.

Hi Craig,

Would you mind sending me the efonts? The qpzidian or the chinese<->english dictionaries of Zbdic only displays boxes.

My email adress: l_angot@hotmail.com

Thank you a lot

Ludo

Ludo Will do.  PS you should reboot after installing murphy, qpzidian and / or the efonts this should pick up the new fonts in QT
