[quote=“ironlady”]Hi,
I’m using the following:
Chinese system: Win2000 Professional with Traditional and Simplified Chinese IMEs (free from Microsoft)
NJStar – VERY occasionally only, usually for convenience in translating from GB to BIG-5 code if I’m going to use translation memory software to work on a file (my TMs are in traditional characters, but I’m not sure if they’re really BIG-5 or Unicode; anyway, this way works even though I’m not quite sure why);
Trados – really expensive but the most convenient thing I’ve found for heavy-duty professional translation from Chinese; if you avoid their constant updates (just update every 2 years or so) it’s a bit cheaper.
WinXP or Win2000 Professional handle multiple languages so well, you really don’t need NJStar if you want to avoid the expense. But being congenitally lazy, I like to be able to highlight a character in a text file and find the pronunciation with one click of the mouse, so I can look it up faster if I end up using a paper dictionary.
BUT – it’s the weekend, so I think I’ll check out the stuff that Konglong has listed! Thanks, Konglong!

Hi Terry,
since you seem to be the most knowledgeable person on this board about the latest electronic gadgetry & chinese :mrgreen: have you had any experience with C<->E dictionaries for Pocket PC (as opposed to Palm OS) ? I never had a PDA before, and I’m considering getting the new Toshiba PDA + cellphone (from Sprint PCS) wich runs MS Pocket PC – I’ve done a quick search on the web, and I only came up with this Pocket-PC-based dictionary:
