kasahorow June Update
kasahorow Chinese Dictionaries
We have added a 3,000 word basic Chinese vocabulary. Entries are cross-linked with the other kasahorow dictionaries, effectively creating connections from multiple African languages to Chinese!
For example
一把抓 一把抓
is linked to the following kasahorow dictionary entries
English: to snatch, to grab
Akan: tam
Hausa: kama.
The example above can be found at http://dictionary.kasahorow.com/node/43755.
The Chinese dictionary is available at http://dictionary.kasahorow.com/all/zh.

The kasahorow Wolof dictionary continues to grow thanks to the hard work of Athinkra (www.athinkra.com). Entries, as for kasahorow’s Chinese dictionary, are linked to other kasahorow dictionaries.
For example

English: good
Ewe: nyo, nyui, nyui
Akan: papa, pa

Akan Word Processor
C²Duo have come out with a basic Akan text editor, available for download at www.nkraata.com. Nkraata allows direct keyboard input of Akan characters from a US English keyboard and is preinstalled with Akan-friendly Unicode fonts.
kasahorow took the program for a short test-drive. The interface is fairly intuitive, and the program provides useful added functionality such as allowing the insertion of bitmap images to text. Our only suggestion is to make the file available as an .exe download rather than the current (and less universal) .rar download. Nonetheless, kudos to C²Duo for coming out with this program!
