Online AJAX-based dictionary

Blog & Engineering Insights

Check out the first Romanian online AJAX dictionary: www.123dictionar.ro.

Similar to Google Suggest, the AJAX dictionary will provide instant word definitions as you type, or, in case no matches are found, similar words. By a simple double-click on a word, you can navigate to new words in the destination language selected. Currently, we have definitions for Romanian, English, and German languages.

For the technical people out there, implementation was done using Prototype AJAX library, Scriptaculous for UI, and suggestions powered by Lucene search engine.

Enjoy!
