Dicland Business Letter Dictionary screenshotAdding to their Pocket PC Japanese-English Translation software Transland, Brother have released DicLand, a dictionary and dictionary reader set containing not only Sanseido's Exceed JE, EJ and JJ dictionaries, but also originally a Business Letter dictionary. The software itself looks well designed. Special features include auto-clipboard lookup from other applications, auto-search of text pasted into a special area of the dictionary screen, simultaneous searching of all the dictionaries, jump searches to other dictionaries from within definitions, bookmarks, history and the functionality to allow other application developers to link into the program (in geek speak API or Application Programming Interface). At 8,800 yen it is reasonably priced and is sure to be a good competitor to Logovista's Pocket PC dictionary range.
