I need too.
It's realy necessary for everybody.
Is there anyone going to creat such application?

[R00KIE]

You have a good point but even with compression that needs huge amounts of space that calculators don't have.

[Daruosh]

There is no problem for compression. I have done it for CASIO PVS-1600 (English to Persian / Persian to English). I just used 3.4 MB.

The CP memory is approx 4.5 MB (or 5mb?) ,...really, there is a problem:(

is it possible to have farsi font easily in cp300?

is it possible to have farsi font easily in cp300?

U can just creat ur own font in an Application or Program not as a CP OS font.

[Daruosh]

is it possible to have farsi font easily in cp300?

It's possible, but not easily;) I've developed new character set for the PV-S1600. It's a long time I didn't develop new app for classpad, (now I focus on PocketPC development) but I think an online dictioanry would be a valuable job (In comparssion with games and etc...)

About the dictionary: We can use a text-compressing method to reduce the size of the dict.

About the Farsi text editor: Unfortunatly ClassPad does not support a right-to-left editor (though it supports right-to-left text viewer), however, it is possible to build an add-in with a Farsi font.

[unique33]

about the font :

Someone said that making classpad (PEG) fonts from windows fonts is as easy as clicking on the mouse

!

[MicroPro]

Hi Friends... Who said this unique33? Even if there is such a program I think it does not support Farsi.

And about my last post: In my last post I had written that there is a Right-to-left viewr, but I just found that there is not one. However it is possible to create a RTL viewer or editor, but it needs some programming (I don't know how much).

[Kilburn]

What do Farsi font look like? If you want I can try to make a Right To Left text editor...

Well, take a look here

(Sorry if this is very long, I couldn't write shorter descriptions)

For the Farsi editor you must to create a Farsi font, and write a code to convert "abcd" to "dcba" in each line of text.

But the main things are the codes to convert the state of the letters. ie, in English you don't have to worry about the letters' case. You can write your text in small or CAPITAL letters. But in Farsi you should obey the rules about cases (Well, we have not 'case' in Farsi, we usually call them 'styles').

Farsi has 32 letters and about 32*2=64 different cases (styles), but computers support 4 styles for each letter, so the font must support 32*4=128 characters for each of the characters and its styles!! (It is a little too much, isn't it?!)

[Behnoud]

Why we don't attemp to do?
We can afford it!
Let try to make a simple and limited version.

i say as an iranian farsi talker that farsi is better to be in a trash...

I didn't say persian-english dictionary ,
we all need an English-English dictionary
In Persian:
(lotfan adaie motojaded haie gharb zadaro dar naiar )

The ClassPad can support that many characters. Its possible to create a Farsi editor and Farsi font using the SDK.

OK, so you can throw all of your books, your PC, your things, and your tongue (-> The one inside your mouth) away... Do it right now if you really hate Farsi!

Thanks very much, you mean replacing greek and latin characters with Farsi, don't you?
By telling that Farsi has 128 characters I just meant that it is difficult to build a Farsi program (BTW if you want to include all of the symbols and numbers, it becomes 152 chars).

152 chars is no problem for the ClassPad.
The ClassPad uses a multibyte character set (MBCS). A MBCS is similar to Unicode, except unlike Unicode where every character is two bytes, a MBCS has both one byte and two byte characters. ASCII characters are still one byte. If the first byte is a special 'character page' value (for example 0xEC) then it means the character is 2-bytes where the second byte is the offset into that character page.

Look at page 85 of the SDK Programming Guide to see what I mean.

Oh... thanks! But still our problem is the right-to-left text editor.
(Could you please look at the topic "Some Problems with CPEditBox" which I have created in the sdk forum?)

[Behnoud]

I am planning to create a Dictionary eActivity,
I mean a *.fls file which contain words.
So it would be highly appreciated if you
kindly send me an english dictionary contents
in a Word or Notepad document.

Hi... Even if you want to embed Oxford Elementary Dictionary it needs about 1.5 Mb space. I think you need to compress it.

[Behnoud]

I have entered a book with 70 pages (25'500 words) to my CP
and it just too 144 KB

[MicroPro]

Yes, but probably a dictionary has more than 70 pages. (I don't know, maybe the dictionary didn't take much place. I just heard that Oxford Elementary is 1.5 Megabytes)
And if you want a text, you can perform a character recognition on one of the oxford dictionaries in www.fictionwise.com.

[Behnoud]

I tried before.
but the available formats didn't allow me to access the whole context of dictionary
