How To Add A Custom Dictionary?

[edwinbradford]

Hi everyone,

I'm still using my C760 for Japanese-English, one of the best, most useful things I ever bought. I've come up against a snag I can't find a google answer to. Without going into linguistic details, I have a text list of irregular Japanese verbs I'd like to add to the Zaurus for reference.

I could easily do it by having a text list I open up in a doc viewer but it's not very elegant. Ideally I'd like to have the list accessible in Zten or JISHO/JISPA (the built in dictionary) so that when I look up a verb it will say "Ah ha, that's on my list of irregular ones". It's kind of like a custom dictionary I add to the Epwing ones in Zten and or whatever JISPA uses. But is that easy to do?

I've tried creating an entry in the "User Dictionary" from the utilities pane but nothing appears to show up in JISPA, I don't know whether JISPA can access the User Dictionary? I'm sure someone here will have done this for themselves.

Cheers -- Edwin.

It's possible to add custom dictionaries to SLJISHO, but it's gonna cost ya:

Don't know what JISPA means, but the User Dictionary entries show up in the kana-kanji conversion stage of the Zaurus IME, ie when you type something in Japanese input mode and press the space bar.
