Online Chinese English Dictionary

Hey guys,

I've been Chinese podding for over a year now..

Just for fun I decided to make an new interface for Erik Peterson’s free and really cool online Chinese-English dictionary that I mirror at translate.the-eastern-way.com.

The new ajax interface is (hopefully) quite a bit nicer to use because translations appear magically appear below your search rather than the old fashioned "submit-and-wait" routine.

Lemme know if you guys find it userful and especially if you have any suggestions on how I can improve it further.

Cheers,

Patrick

That is very nice! Good work. I especially like the blind pinyin; if I know that the word for "olive" is "gan", but I don't know the tone, it will accept the g-a-n and spit out all variants. Very handy.
