Randomize it.
There has been a small update to the dictionary section; it is the addition of a “random button” beside the search one. This button should take you to a random English-Tigrigna dictionary entry. Give it a shot.

IPA
IPA stands for the International Phonetic Alphabet. It’s the universal script that linguists use to map out the phonetic sounds of every word in every language in the world.

Keyboard changes
So, I’ve decided to make a few chages to the MLTG keyboard. One change is to add a toggle switch onto every page that has a textbox and uses the keyboard; however I’ve made another major change, that is, I’ve restructured the entire keyboard itself. No longer do you have to use numbers to type [...]

Dictionary fun
I’ve almost finished adding a few more terms to the English/Tigrigna dictionary. It seems that the totals are 4,062 for the English one and 5,058 for the Tigrinya side. Still small, but growing!
