Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Dear all, Recently I was introduced to this wonderful treasure trove online - a downloadable Monier-Williams Sanskrit dictionary that is searchable too. (and has an entry of 160,000 words) If you are interested, please go to http://members.chello.nl/l.bontes/sans_n.htm Download these three files mwsdd_v15beta.zip dict.zip fonts.zip The dict.zip is very large and so may pose a challenge to some folks in downloading. Create a folder called "Sanskrit Dictionary" (or any other name you prefer) and unzip the contents of all the three files to this location. Then in Windows (sorry dont know the equivalent in Mac), click on "Start", "Settings" ,"Control Panel" and Fonts. Click on "File" , "Install New Font" , go to the folder where you have unzipped all three files "Sanskrit Dictionary" and select the fonts that you have downloaded and install them. Once done , create a shortcut on the desktop to the mwsdde.exe directory. All you have to do now is to click on the short cut and start using the program. Type in the Itrans equivalent of the sanskrit word to get the meanings. Here is the ITrans decoder http://www.srivaishnava.20m.com/gita/itrans.htm Hope you can all benefit from the downloadable dictionary. My thanks to the original programmer/sponsor of this wonderful project. Jai Shiva Nanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 thank you, Nanda. this is good stuff! I hunted around for a similar Macintosh Monier-Williams and couldn't find any with the same features as what you found. if anyone comes across one in your web travels, let us know! Jai Shiva!
