[Dictionarysearch] Chinese

[Ludwig]

Dear Sir,

 

I just want to thank you all.  With the latest DictionarySearch v2.01, I am back on track now.  The Chinese issue is now over.  I have tried to use the extension to search the yahoo site and the cuhk site, both of them accept Chinese characters with no error.

 

I have tried to Dic Search Chinese (Traditional Chinese) and Chinese (Simplified Chinese).  The Traditional Chinese is ok.  The Simplified Chinese is not ok yet. Anyway, I can use Tongwen to transform Simplified Chinese to Traditional Chinese first, the conversion is also done by a plugin, so I have no problem with Chinese anymore.

 

Thank you again.

Previously I was able to use dictionarysearch with the following URL to query Chinese:

 

 <http://hk.dictionary.yahoo.com/search.html?s=%BCv%C5T> http://hk.dictionary.yahoo.com/search.html?s=影響

(or http://hk.dictionary.yahoo.com/search.html?s=%BCv%C5T)

 

http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/cgi-bin/canton-new.pl?query=樂

(or http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/cgi-bin/canton-new.pl?query=%BC%D6)

 

But after upgrading to Firefox 2.0 I am no longer able to use these URLs.  What is wrong with it?  Is that something to do with Firefox?  Can I use any argument to force dictionarysearch to use BIG-5 as the default encoding?

 

tch
