Esper 2.2 Description

" Esper : A crude translator Esperanto To English and English to Esperanto. It works by looking up words in various dictionaries on the web. It mindlessly translates word for word. "

Edit by 1ware.net: Esper - A crude translator Esperanto To English and English to
Esperanto. It works by looking up words in various
dictionaries on the web. It mindlessly translates word for
word.

( 1 ) First download and install the lastest Java JRE from
http: / / mindprod. com / jgloss / jre. html

( 2 ) Using WinZip ( from http: / / www. winzip. com ) extract the
files into the default com \ mindprod \ esper directory.

( 3 ) Create a shortcut setting by right clicking the
desktop and selecting new shortcut.

( 4 ) Set the shortcut target to:

C: \ Program Files \ Javasoft \ JRE \ 1.3 \ bin \ java. exe-jar esper. jar

( 5 ) Set the start in directory to:

C: \ com \ mindprod \ esper

( 6 ) Select any icon that suits your fancy, there is a
green star in the esper directory called Esperanta
Tradukilo. ico.

( 7 ) To use the program, make sure you have an Internet
connection then click the icon. You don' t need a browser.
It runs stand-alone as an application.

The translator works quite slowly, especially if you use a
lot of words that it can' t find in any online dictionary.
It gradually gets faster as it learns your vocabulary.
It is also embarrassingly slow to start. The Java runtime
takes a long time to waddle to its feet.

This version does not analyse prefixes and suffixes.

You can help the Esperanto to English translation along by
converting verbs to their infinitive-i form, e. g. amas to
ami and by breaking prefixes and suffixes off, e. g. mallonga
-) mal-longa and grandega-) granda. Remove the terminal-n
and-j e. g. knabojn-) knabo.

In a potential future version this should not be necessary.
