An unexpected error caused parts of the site to be down today 11 April. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Bug fix: French-English computing glossary

A bug has (finally...) been fixed in the French/English computing glossary which meant entries were appearing on screen mutliple times!

New content: Bilingual Search Engine

A beta version of this site's new bilingual search engine is now available.

Mobile version of the dictionary

An initial mobile phone version of the French dictionary is now available:

• The mobile version is designed to work on phones that support WAP 1.1
• The mobile version contains some stripped-down entries to cope better with the smaller screen of mobile phones
• At present, only French-English lookups are supported. (English-French coming soon!)
  
• It is free to access (other than your mobile operator's cost to access the Internet on your phone!)
• Suggestions are welcome as comments on this blog entry!
  

New content: French crossword games

Some French crossword games were recently added to the French Linguistics site. They are playable on line. Note that your browser must support Java 5 (or later) for these games to work.

Possible down time 5-6 January

It is planned that some upgrades will be performed on the French Linguistics site over the weekend of 5-6 January. During this time, there may be occasional periods when the site is down. This work is needed for some new content that will be added to the site over the coming weeks. In particular, some new features will allow users to personalise the way they use the site.

Feedback: corrections and updates made

Many thanks for all the feedback that you've been providing over the last month. All feedback up to the beginning of this month has now been dealt with, and as a result numerous typographical errors have been corrected in the dictionary and in the French phrases section of the site.
