Re: English - Tetum - Indonesian - Portugese translation [Tetum-translators] Available dictionaries

[Peter Gossner]

Don,
I opened this late at night so have not gone forward with any of this at
all.

Short answer is that on WinXP it is very hard to get all this to work...
however I will look into it... Should be doable.

I will also look into setting a translating dictionary server up (public
access) and binaries for windowsXP as well..

I wont get a chance to do this before the weekend but will let you know.

Meantime forwarding to Tetum list and others.
