Summary:
This form takes German text as input, looking up each word with
the local German-English dictionary and displaying the definition
in a pop-up window when the mouse hovers over the word.
Its purpose is to help students of German read text.
The interactive hyperlinked dictionary is written in HTML with
interpreted in-line Perl, javascript, and a Perl-script backend
called
hyperdict.
The Perl script,
hyperdict, is a
command-line script that builds a vocabulary list for each
word from text or html.
The German Hyperdictionary provides quick definitions of German words
by moving the mouse over the word of interest.
For an example of how it works click
here.
This program is currently in beta testing.
Occasionally the search algorithm returns unusual definitions and
unlike the
dictionary,
the search algorithm hashes an entire dictionary before creating the output and is thus rather slow.
