Comment on New blog for learning Taiwanese by Franklin Chen

Thanks for the link! I’ve found it very frustrating trying to find information on Taiwanese to help teach it to my wife (and learn it better myself; I only absorbed it informally from my parents while I grew up in the United States).

Comment on Maryknoll Taiwanese-English dictionary data available by Jason McDowell

Yes! This is great!

I went to their website just a few days ago and I don’t think the excel file was up yet. I was very surprised to see the PDF files, since they were not there the last time I visited the Maryknoll language service center site several months ago.

I’m going to Taiwan for vacation in September and I’m planning to try to obtain copies of some of their Taiwanese-English study books. I hope they have copies available in their Taipei branch, because we aren’t planning to visit Taichung.

Thanks for the dictionary, Maryknoll!

Rough translation of the above comment:

Great news.

Some years ago I bought these two dictionaries from Maryknoll. In 2002 I also bought the revised version of the Taiwanese-English dictionary at the Taiwan Store.

To be able to see them online at this time is a good thing for the Taiwanese community.

Thank you.

I offer my assistance if it is needed.

Can you ask them to keep the original version along with the revised version when publishing the dictionary files?

Currently the dictionaries are not available to download. This post is more in the way of announcing the new license – I will update everyone when Maryknoll make the source files available. This may not be for a while though, as they are working on a revised version – I have a feeling it will be this updated version which will be easily available, rather than the current one. More information as soon as I have it.

Where could I download these dictionaries if they were open source?
