A modern re-writting of Gjiten, a japanese dictionary

The goal of this rewrite of Gjiten is to have a Gjiten with new features and a new interface, while keeping the original overall design.

To use the worddic (word dictionary) you will need an EDICT dictionary file. Get one from https://www.edrdg.org/wiki/index.php/JMdict-EDICT_Dictionary_Project

Dictionary files can be downloaded directly from Gjitenkai in the ''preference/Download'' menu

Then set the worrdic file in Edit/preferences/ Worddic - Dictionary - New - Browse ...

You also need Japanese font and a Japanse input system. See your OS documentation for more details.
