Mac OSX Leopard
Well I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait for the new Mac OSX to come out. Pertaining to Japanese, what is exciting is that the new OS ships with a Japanese-English dictionary and thesaurus.
Straight from the horse’s mouth:
The Dictionary application supports the Japanese language right out of the box, with an industry-leading Japanese dictionary and thesaurus provided by Shogakukan. The dictionary contains over 200,000 words with rich descriptions and examples, and the thesaurus contains 25,000 words covering 6,000 categories.
That combined with built-in Wikipedia support sounds pretty nice. Hopefully it’s as good as the hype, but knowing Apple I’m sure it is. I guess we’ll have to wait until 10/26 to find out.
