Yup, that's what I'm a-gonna do. Will break up the images of the ming characters into individual image files; then I will pass them off to you guys. Thanks!
Ming translator is [here: uri http://icybermind.net/mingdict1.html]
Really kewl! I notice there seems to be a limit to how many Ming words can be submitted at once. Thanks, this will be a very useful tool and save the pages of my BC2.

It's a very helpful tool although I understand very little about the mechanics of it. Heck, it outputs pretty well. What more could you ask for except maybe the matching Chinese characters?
Speaking of Dragon Pearls, the very first sentence is the one I tried out:
"Chuh shu suk chun booy fat way maw."
The translator got all but the last word, "maw." So I then typed maw into the cleared box and up it came. So not sure what limit I hit there besides a fumble-finger (got an icon for that?)
Thanks for the ctrl-c tip on the sentence. You can also use the "back" button on your browser to re-claim the previous. I've noticed the same thing about the recursive quality of the dictionaries. Kinda like his shing, but with words...
Thanks again and best to all.
I noticed that if you put a period at the end it does not look up that word. You may want to replace punctuation with white space.
The translate button doesn't yet let the input stay around so you need to copy it to the clipboard just in case of misspellings.
You can echo the post variable back into the form like this:
<textarea name="mingIn" cols="100" rows="5">
<?php echo $mingIn ?>
</textarea>
If you put a period after a word the parser looks up the word "word." which does not exist in the dictionary. I don't use punctuation.

Leaving off the punctuation would explain it, thanks!



<textarea name="mingIn" cols="100" rows="5">
<?php echo trim($mingIn) ?>
</textarea>




<textarea name="mingIn" cols="100" rows="5">
<?php echo trim($mingIn) ?>
</textarea>


<textarea name="mingIn" cols="100" rows="5"><?php echo $mingIn ?></textarea>
The problem was that you had included sapces in the textarea. See it translating sum at robustai.net.
Notice that as a by product, every ming phrase now has a URL ...check out Chuh shu suk chun booy fat way maw

Fascinating url thingy.





BTW, there are exactly 1012 ming words in the database. If anyone finds one that is missing let me know. I found two that were misstyped in the spreadsheet & fixed them.
If you spend the time to do the scan i would take the time to convert them to transparent gif files ... that way we could come up with a code snippit that would put a ming saying against any background ... ever the cartoon maker. Another approach might be to look up the characters in unicode and put those codes in the db ... that way you may not need to scan at all; but the scanning would certainly come up with a better result and stick more to the original masterpiece.



printf('<img src="https://icybermind.net/mingcharacters/%s.jpg">',$ming) ;
where $ming holds the ming word.

url http://icybermind.net/mingdict1.html?mingIn=chay+chun%0D%0A&submit=TRANSLATE works too!

Breck drop by url http://fastblogit.com/permalink/?item=3237 for a translation of the contents of Dragon Pearls. Or type in dragon pearls into the search tag and follow it to same place. I am translating the contents of most of the little projective geometry books.
