[Project] KanjiDB

[Jeroen Mathon]

I am planning on making an website deticated to translate knaji characters with there meanings to english.
So basicly it's an website that allows you to look up a word for instance happyness and then finds the correct kanji for it.

An domain name is already available kanjidb.net
If you are interested in an cool open source project then let me know...

Not to burst your bubble, but have you had the chance to look at sites like http://wwwjdic.com/? There are a few of these out there, and one might already do what you're looking to do.

Good luck with your efforts.

I'm mainly doing this for the expirience and developemtn of my skillset.
I also wanted to focus on the security of the site.

So its just one of my projects.

Cool. I would still consider using JDict as a reference - it's pretty simple to use and should help you out a lot.

For print dictionaries, I suggest the following two books:

Dictionary - Kodansha's Furigana Japanese Dictionary - I really would encourage using a dictionary that looks up in a Japanese method, using Japanese kana, rather than Romaji.
Kanji - Japanese Character Dictionary with Compound Lookup Via Any Kanji - It's not in print anymore, it seems, but I've been using this book for nearly 20 years.

Good luck with your project!
