Effective Language's Chinese Plug-in for Japanese Assistant

With this plug-in for Japanese Assistant, you can now apply all the benefits of Japanese Assistant to Chinese too.

What does it do?

This tool helps students of Chinese look up Chinese just a little bit faster by:

• Automatically looking up words immediately when they are copied into the clipboard from most applications (like Microsoft Office or Microsoft Internet Explorer)
• Automatically breaking down a sentence into possible words (choose "Sentence" from the menu)

Note: "Sentence" mode is slow compared to "Normal" mode, and becomes much slower when longer input is used.

How to install the plug-in

After installing Effective Language's Japanese Assistant version 1.2, download the Chinese dictionary plug-in archive. Open the archive and copy all of the contents to the directory where Japanese Assistant is installed. On a typical computer, this directory is "c:\Program Files\Effective Language\Japanese Tool\"
