Dear Friends, 

Majority of us are already using Cologne Sanskrit Lexicon project dictionaries available at https://www.sanskrit-lexicon.uni-koeln.de.

It gives me immense pleasure to announce the following apps which allow offline and faster access to the latest Cologne data. You can start typing the word in your desired transliteration scheme and the results will be shown on the fly. Data would be fetched from latest data from Github repositories where Cologne d

Kindly give it a try and give your valuable feedback.



Android - https://play.google.com/apps/testing/de.uni_koeln.sanskrit_lexicon (Testing version - may require you to send email to me to add you to testers. Testers are required to use the app for 14 consecutive days as per Google Play Console terms, so that it may be published as an app on Play Store.)

Web App - Some browsers like Chrome may allow you to install you the web app directly on your computer from https://sanskrit-lexicon.github.io/csl-app/

Usage Instructions -

1. Click on the triple bar on the left top corner.
2. Download the dictionaries you want to use from 'Manage Dictionaries' 
3. Click on the 'Back' arrow to go back to the Home Page.
4. If you want to search 'Headwords', type in the first search bar.
5. If you want to search inside 'Definitions', type in the second search bar.
6. If you want to search for the entries having given word in 'Headword' and some other given word in 'Definition', type in both search bars.

By default, the searches will be treated as 'prefix' searches.
You can change them to 'exact', 'suffix' or 'substring' searches from 'Preferences'.
You can also change your preferred input and output transliteration schemes from ‘Preferences’.

If you find an error or would like to verify the printed text, you can click on 'PDF' or 'Correction' links below each entry.

Note - Users using the web or web app version should not download too many dictionaries on the first go. Data resides in your browser cache. Once you are confident that your computer and browser are capable of handling installed dictionaries, gradually scale up. I tested with all dictionaries in Safari on MacOS with 16GB RAM. It was working well, but it may differ from machine to machine.
