Mike Ash has released an update for LiveDictionary, bringing it to version 1.1. LiveDictionary is a Sarafi extension utility designed for Web based definition searching. The update features dictionary enhancements and adds a thesaurus. According to Mike Ash:
LiveDictionary 1.1 released.
LiveDictionary is a Safari extension that adds fast, convenient dictionary lookups to the Web. Once installed, it becomes a transparent part of Safari; point to a word with the mouse cursor, and its definition or translation appears in a popup window. LiveDictionary offers a wide array of dictionaries for technical terms, general language, and bilingual usage.
New features in 1.1:
- The WordNet adapter now includes a thesaurus
- The popup window can be set to show when clicking the mouse
- The popup window can be completely disabled
- The Chinese and Japanese dictionaries can now be set to only display entries for a single language
- Support for additional specialized Japanese dictionaries: ENAMDIC, for proper nouns, and COMPDIC for computing and communications terms
- When changing dictionaries from Safari, itis now possible to continue using the browser while the dictionary loads
- Added an option to display a window if a word was found under the cursor but no dictionary entry was found for that word
