As a credited contributor to the EDICT[1] Japanese/English dictionary, I am very pleased to see its successor JMdict[2] actively supported by this project. Bravo!

And as someone who now also speaks Italian, I am even more pleased to see that Italian support will be added tomorrow.

It is wonderful to see such a useful tool released as an open-source, self-hosted project. (^_^)

Hi!

Thank you for helping me learn Japanese! :)

Can you please explain what do you mean by actively supporting JMDict? I hope I didn't make an attribution mistake, or misunderstood something. My understanding is that I can use those files in my project as long as I follow the license guidelines.

It makes me really happy that so many people are interested in it. :)

Sorry for the confusing language choice on my part. I just meant that I think it's great that your project supports JMdict. I think how you are using JMdict is indeed totally okay! :^)
Oh, okay. Thank you!
