2013-04-04 Edition of Referenced Theo. Expressions Now Available

The Referenced Theo. Expressions files available for download have been updated. They are available for download from the Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Pinyin + English) Downloads and Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Cantonese Romanization + English) Downloads pages. These files are relatively extensive lists of theo. expressions as they have been found to be rendered in the Chinese publications. Versions sorted by English and versions sorted by romanization are both available.

The current edition is now dated 2013-04-04. It contains 18,750 / 18,752 entries and 9568 / 10,080 alternate headings, compared to the 17,648 entries and 9409 alternate headings that were in the previous edition. For the Mandarin RTE data, Pleco, Wenlin, ChinaScribe, DICT, StarDict (for ColorDict, etc.), and iSilo data files are now available in addition to the PDF files. (We have not been able to make the StarDict data files work with the StarDict program itself, but they may work with ColorDict and other programs that read the StarDict format.)

Here are some comments from the one who produces the RTE, regarding this update:

There's been another 1,000+ entries since last October (including some from new publications), plus a much-needed update to the Pleco instructions re Android.

...

PS: in the notes on the entry for "pray anytime", I've put the Chinese lyrics from the Become Jehovah's Friend video on jw.org (which they didn't publish in textual form); this transcription has been proofread by an HK sister.

Bookmarks have been added to the PDF files with “LN-A” (“Link Navigation-Annotation”) included in their filenames, and PDF annotation has been enabled on them as well. See the PDF Link Navigation page and the PDF Annotation (Notes & Highlighting) page for more information.

Note that Pleco is now available for iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad and for Android. The RTE Pleco Instructions file contains instructions for installing the RTE Pleco files in Pleco running on these devices.

As a reminder, note that the Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Pinyin + English) Web Lookup and Referenced Theo. Expressions (Chinese + Cantonese Romanization + English) Web Lookup pages are available as well. Rather than containing download links to the RTE data files, they each contain a web form that can be used to look up RTE information.

Thanks go out to the ones who helped to produce this set of resources.
