Dear Jaap.
Thank you for good tool.It's very useful.
As I want to use DictionarySearch in Japanese too,
I made little changes in DictionarySearch[0.9.3].
If it isn't unpleasant for you,I want to send this xpi file
to your adderss.Is it good?
And, can I open this to the public as [0.9.3ja] or else?
Reason:
It supports only Japanse.
I think This is welcomed for Japanse users,
but this change isn't good for users not using Japanese.
(For your information)
I made these 3 changes.
1)change character-code from Unicode to EUC-JP
EUC-JP is one of the character-codes of Japanse.
Many CGIs supporting Japanese use EUC-JP,
But in mozilla, texts are using Unicode(UTF-8).
This implement is not perfect.
-There are some CGIs using Other character-code,like S-JIS
or UNICODE,too.
-This might to work bad in other language.
2)URL-encode
For Multi-byte support,encode EUC-JP texts using escape().
#This might work bad for some character.
3)add ja-JP locale files.
#I think supporting multi-Language may need to change GUI,
#dropdown or else to enable to select using character-code/urlencode
# or not.
#But I cannot. I don't have this skill.
